So as you can tell, I love doing research and also think this article is really good too. http://www.thecollegesolution.com/thinking-outside-the-college-box/ It explains the DIY website as well as other good research tools. I also want to second both University of Southern California (now Latinos are not rare there but the alumni group is good at raising $$ for Latino students) and the other USC- South Carolina which gives $95K to NHRP students. https://sc.edu/admissions/apply/costs_and_aid/oosscholarships.html
