SUMMARY: In accordance with section 102(a)(4)(C) of the Department of 
Housing and Urban Development Reform Act of 1989, this document 
notifies the public of funding awards for Fiscal Year 1996 Hispanic-
serving Institutions Work Study Program (HSI-WSP). The purpose of this 
document is to announce the names and addresses of the award winners 
and the amount of the awards to be used to attract economically 
disadvantaged and minority students to pre-professional careers in 
community and economic development, community planning and community 
management, and to provide a cadre of well-qualified professionals to 
work in local community building programs.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The HSI-WSP is administered by the Office of 
University Partnerships under the Assistant Secretary for Policy 
Development and Research. The Office of University Partnerships 
administers HUD's ongoing grant programs to institutions of higher 
education and creates initiatives through which colleges and 
universities can bring their traditional missions of teaching, 
research, service, and outreach to bear on the pressing local problems 
in their communities.
    The HSI-WSP was created through an earmark of funds appropriated 
for the Community Development Work Study Program in the Conference 
Report, H. Rep. 104-384, dated December 6, 1995, which accompanied 
``The Departments of Veterans Affairs and Housing and Urban Development 
and Independent Agencies Appropriations Act, 1996'' (Pub. L. 104-134). 
Eligible applicants are private and public non-profit Hispanic-serving 
community colleges having qualifying academic degrees. Each 
participating institution of higher education can be funded for a 
minimum of three and a maximum of ten students. The HSI-WSP provides 
each participating student up to $12,200 per year for a work stipend 
(for internship-type work in community building) and tuition and 
additional support (for books and other expenses related to the 
academic program). Additionally, the HSI-WSP provides the participating 
institution of higher education with an administrative allowance of 
$1,000 per student per year. On October 2, 1996 (61 FR 51566), HUD 
published a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) announcing the 
availability of $3 million in FY 1996 funds for the Hispanic-serving 
Institutions Work Study Program. The Department reviewed, evaluated and 
scored the

HUD has funded the applications announced below, and in accordance with 
section 102(a)(4)(C) of the Department of Housing and Urban Development 
Reform Act of 1989 (103 Stat. 1987, 42 U.S.C. 3545), the Department is
