About The Program

 
Augsburg College is a private, four-year college of liberal arts and sciences, located in the heart of the Twin Cities, that offers a high-quality education in a multicultural environment. Students benefit from a number of scholarships, grants, loan programs, and work-study, based on financial eligibility and academic achievement. Augsburg seeks a diverse student population and provides services and support to students of color through four multicultural programs.

In 1993, Augsburg College created the Hispanic/Latino Student Services program to provide students of Hispanic/Latino or Chicano background with the support and encouragement to successfully complete a bachelor or a master's degree. In collaboration with other programs, it offers to local and international students individualized attention in areas including assistance with admissions, financial aid, registration processes, academic advising, personal counseling, and advocacy. All students receive assistance with internship, employment, and community referrals. 

The Hispanic/Latino Student Services program works closely with student programs at the College and with external organizations that help students in their pursuit of higher education. Among its campus celebrations are Cinco de Mayo, Minnesota Hispanic Heritage Month, and a Latino Homecoming Reception.
