New Grants Promote Community Outreach
By Charles Dervarics
Black colleges and Hispanic-serving institutions are eligible for new grants to promote outreach to their local communities.
Black colleges and universities can apply for $9.9 million in federal dollars to address poverty and economic development needs in or near their campuses. About $6.6 million is available for previously funded grantees, who can obtain three-year grants ranging up to $550,000 each. New grantees can receive up to $340,000 for three years.
