Conaway Applauds Grant for Western Texas College and Texas State Technical College West Texas


Washington, Sep 25, 2007 - Today, Congressman Mike Conaway (TX-11) announced that two West Texas community colleges were awarded a Strengthening Institutions- Hispanic Serving Institutions Program grant of $698,817 from the Department of Education. Western Texas College and Texas State Technical College West Texas received this grant to enhance educational opportunities for low-income Hispanic students. It is a five-year cooperative arrangement development grant in which partner colleges intend to improve student access to and success in college programs for area students.

“I am pleased to see that Western Texas College and Texas State Technical College West Texas received this grant,” Conaway said. “Many West Texans do not have access to higher education and this grant will allow hard-working, disadvantaged students to receive the skills they need to prepare for a brighter future.”

The Hispanic Serving Institutions (HIS) Program of the Department of Education grant of $698,817 aims to expand various programs within each college such as general education, associate degree programming, and online student support services. The grant also plans to increase the transfer of Hispanic students from two-year to four-year institutions.
