THE FOOD LION COPA SABOR LATINO WAS A SUCCESS!!
We are delighted to let you know that we were able to fundraise on July 17 a total of $1,170.53 thanks to the generosity of the people attending the 2nd Food Lion Sabor Latino Soccer Cup and thanks to the continuous and tremendous support from Food Lion!!
We, at NCSHP, are extremely honored and proud that Food Lion invited us again to be part of this important initiative. Also, we are extremely thankful to Food Lion for providing us with the t-shirts to give away as an incentive for our people to donate to the scholarship fund and for giving us the opportunity to reach the Hispanic community to encourage them to support the education of our Hispanic students in North Carolina. The donations during the soccer game will allow us to give two college scholarships for the amount of $600 each to deserving Hispanic students for the school year 2011-2012.
We would like to let you know that we were able to raise the above amount thanks to the enthusiastic participation of high school students, as well as members of the society, who volunteered their time the day of the game.
¡¡BUEN TRABAJO!!

THE RULE ALLOWING ADMISSION OF UNDOCUMENTED STUDENTS TO NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGES IS NOW IN EFFECT!!
In September of last year, and in March of this year, the Board of the North Carolina Community College System (NCCCS) voted to admit undocumented immigrants to the state’s 58 campuses with some key restrictions. The Adelante Education Coalition (of whom the NC Society of Hispanic Professionals is a member organization) supported the NCCCS policy, even though there were concerns about the restrictions. The NC General Assembly adjourned Saturday, July 10, 2010, without enacting a law to void the NCCCS rule adopted in March 2010. Therefore, the rule allowing admission of undocumented students is now in effect. Undocumented students must pay out-of-state tuition, have graduated from a US high school, and may not displace a lawfully present student if classes are at capacity.
Please help us inform immigrant students and families about the new policy which is now in effect. As we understand it, an undocumented student will not be allowed to register for classes or be admitted into a specific program of study before the “last published registration period.” NCCCS is doing this to make sure that anyone who is lawfully present in the United States has priority over the undocumented student in a class or program of study. The "last published (i.e. late) registration period" is not the same as the drop/add period. It is our understanding that the late registration period will occur before the first day of classes.

About the Campaign
The North Carolina Society of Hispanic Professionals needs your help! The society has been providing Latino Youth with scholarships, seminars, mentors, tutors, and summits to improve their chances in life. For the last ten years, the North Carolina Society of Hispanic Professionals has:
• Served close to 6500 Latino students from all parts of North Carolina.
• Awarded close to $70,000 in scholarship monies to 45 highly deserving and promising Latino students.
• Distributed the “Your Life, Your Future, Your Destiny…Is Now…Stay in School! guide, poster, and postcards to every county in North Carolina via our Stay in School Campaign which is also aired daily on Univision 40.
• Had the attendance of more than 1,600 teachers and students from over 50 North Carolina counties at our summits and conferences.
Latino youth face many challenges with regards to staying in school and out of gangs. As a non-profit organization, we are highly committed to helping our youth make good life choices. We need your help now more than ever to ensure that we can continue providing services to these students. For this reason we are launching our Fundraising Campaign.
If you are passionate about keeping our Latino youth in school and helping to guarantee their future success, as well as yours and ours, we hope that you will unite with us as part of our fundraising efforts.
Please seriously consider, giving generously during this campaign drive. Our goal is $100,000 and we need your support in order to carry out the critically important work of the North Carolina Society of Hispanic Professionals. Today, it is easy to make your pledge. It is tax deductible. Simply call (919) 467-8424 or click here.
On behalf of NCSHP and all of the students we serve, we want to personally thank you for your generous support. We simply cannot accomplish our objectives without your participation!
