bring educated professionals from across the globe to attend our institutions of higher education. Latinos Unidos offers these activities and services:

• Two community-sponsored scholarship programs for Latinas/os who seek education beyond high school in Iowa. One program is directed specifically at Mercy College of Des Moines and its offerings in health care services.

• Resource fairs that acquaint Latinos and others with employers, especially those that make a diverse workforce part of their mission.
