PALMS... College Within Their Grasp

Postsecondary Access for Latino Middle-grades Students

The PALMS Project seeks to improve the life chances of Latino youth by opening doors to postsecondary education. We communicate information about how to effectively equip and support students and their families in the pursuit of education beyond high school. This site can assist the work of secondary schools, college access programs, and community-based organizations in their commitment to provide Latinos with an education of the highest quality.
