As the community gears up to celebrate and enjoy the 7th annual Festival Latino, Vincennes University has announced two new scholarships for Latinx students.

In a news release the university says Latinx students represent one of the fastest-growing demographics in higher education, but often face unique challenges. In response, VU is launching two scholarships to support Latinx students and their families, including the VU Diversity and Inclusion Scholarship and the Vincennes University/ILI Promise Scholarship. These programs aim to break down financial barriers and offer additional resources like mentorship and academic support.

VU is also launching the “¡Te Estamos Esperando!” campaign, which provides bilingual materials and outreach programs to better connect with Spanish-speaking families. In addition, the university is offering Spanish-language campus tours and access to dedicated student ambassadors.
