State Farm Insurance announced today it has given a $3 million education grant to the National Council of La Raza (NCLR) to help solve the large high school drop-out rate among Latino students.
The Bloomington, Ill.-based insurer said it aims to help NCLR in their goals to promote excellence in students, increase Latino graduation rates and close the achievement gap nationwide.
Approximately 2.9 million Latinos are enrolled in U.S. high schools--representing 17 percent of all secondary public school students--and are less likely than their non-Hispanic peers to complete high school, said State Farm.
