Central Texas universities highlight federal support for Hispanic students
Manage episode 304622412 series 2582831
Central Texas university officials say they are able to provide more opportunities and support to Hispanic college students with the help of federal grants offered to minority-serving institutions. U.S. Sen. John Cornyn of Texas hosted a roundtable discussion Tuesday with representatives from Austin Community College, St. Edward’s University and Texas State University at the ACC Highland campus to highlight the work of Hispanic-serving institutions in Central Texas and how they are helping support the workforce in the state. Universities with more than 25% Hispanic undergraduate enrollment can be designated as a Hispanic-serving institution, which qualifies a school for multiple federal grants. Texas universities received more than $23.5 million in federal Hispanic-serving institution grants during the 2021 fiscal year, Cornyn said.
