Comment by Kenyatta Rodriguez on August 9, 2008 at 1:23pm: My husband and I are both going back to college this month. He is majoring in web design and I am majoring in business management/ecommerce. I am African American and he is Latino. Does anyone know of any grant funding for minorities for continuing education? We would love to not have sooooooo many student loans to pay back when we graduate!
