| VU is hosting Día de la Familia/ VU Family Day: A Bilingual Spring Admissions and Financial Aid Night will help all prospective students and their families navigate the college admissions process and learn how to pay for college. Media is invited to attend.
VU will offer all presentations and materials in both English and Spanish to ensure that all students and families feel empowered to take the next step toward higher education. The free event will provide essential information about VU’s admissions process, personalized FAFSA assistance, financial aid options, scholarship opportunities, support from bilingual advisors, free transportation from key locations in Huntingburg and Jasper, and light snacks.
As Indiana continues to experience rapid growth in its Latino population, VU is taking the lead in empowering Latino students and families to navigate the path to higher education.
Like much of the nation, Indiana is grappling with a predicted decline in college-aged students that could significantly impact higher education institutions. This challenge makes it imperative for universities to expand their focus on historically underserved communities, including Latino students. According to a recent report by the Indiana Commission for Higher Education, Latino students are enrolling in college at growing rates, but gaps in resources and support persist. By hosting Día de la Familia, VU aims to bridge those gaps and provide the tools Latino families need to succeed in higher education.
