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

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
[[Page 6793]]
applications received based on the criteria in the NOFA. As a result,
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
