Promoting Higher Education Among Latinos.

NBC and Telemundo have partnered with the William Jefferson Clinton Foundation and Embermedia to exclusively promote its CD-Rom, “The Interactive Guide to the Top 100 Colleges & Universities for Hispanics,” during Hispanic Heritage Month.

“Promoting education has long been an priority for NBC and Telemundo; this collaboration with the Clinton Foundation makes perfect sense,” said Jay Ireland, President of the NBC Television Stations division. “We hope that by promoting this CD-Rom across all NBC & Telemundo stations, as well as the Telemundo Network, it will create an awareness of all the possibilities that exist for Hispanic students.”

“The Interactive Guide to the Top 100 Colleges & Universities for Hispanics” features useful weblinks, tutorials on writing essays and filling out college applications, financial aid tips and exclusive access to SAT & ACT online test preparation. It also profiles hundreds of colleges and universities for Hispanic students, and video clips from famous Hispanic graduates including: Miss USA 2003 Susie Castillo, TV Personality Bob Vila, and a special foreword from The Honorable William J.
