Conaway Announces Grant for Midland College Hispanic-Serving Institution Program


Washington, Apr 3, 2008 -

Today, Congressman Mike Conaway (TX-11) announced that Midland College has received a grant from the Department of Education in the amount of $563,825 for the Hispanic Serving Institution Program.

“I am more than pleased that Midland College received this grant,” said Conaway. “With the growing Hispanic population in Midland, it is important that everyone have access to academic opportunities. By strengthening the Hispanic Serving Institution Program, Midland College will have the ability to reach out to the region’s disadvantaged population.”

 

Midland College submitted this grant proposal to fund the “Puente ACCESO” project, whose goal is to “bridge the educational gap through redesign of developmental education and focused outreach services.” This comprehensive activity was created to create academic opportunities for the Midland area’s disadvantaged Hispanic population. Through curriculum redesign, development of accelerated coursework, and academic support services, Midland College will be better equipped to reach out to the Hispanic community.
