Every ethnic group in America is concerned about being able to afford college but Hispanics worry the least.

Hispanics More Confident in Ability to Pay for College Than Most Americans – Gallup

The majority of Hispanics in the United States are optimistic about higher education, saying that they think college is affordable, even as tuition prices and debt levels continue to rise for post-high school students.

Based on a Gallup-Lumina Foundation survey, via Fusion, 51 percent of Hispanics think “education beyond high school is affordable to anyone in the country who needs it.”

Only 19 percent of blacks and 15 percent of whites felt the same way.
Overall, attitudes towards college affordability are not sunny for Americans: a total of 79 percent of Americans do not think that college is affordable.

The reason for Hispanics believing that college is affordable can be attributed to attitudes about education, according to the study’s chief.

“This is a population of folks who are very hungry for education and see it as a pathway to a better life,” said Brandon Busteed, the Gallup lead on the study and executive director of Gallup Education.

Busteed thinks that many Hispanic immigrants see education as their only pathway to a good job. Another reason attributed to Latinos’ optimism is that generally, those without a college degree tend to think that college graduates are better prepared for the workforce. Since Hispanic adults are less likely to have a degree, they may have more optimism about college.
