Program Description
The mission of the Latino Student Fund (LSF) is to provide opportunities for a strong academic foundation for PreK-12th grade under-served students of Hispanic descent and to promote higher education and professional leadership.
The LSF offers a variety of free educational programming for Hispanic families of the DC metro region: a Saturday morning tutoring program for grades PK-12 students, educational access counseling for families and LISTO, a comprehensive, four year cohort model college prep program.
LISTO seeks to remove common barriers to higher education by helping Latino students and their families navigate the complex college admission and financial aid process.
