Announcement of Funding Awards for Fiscal Year 1997 Community
Development Work Study Program
AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Policy Development and
Research, HUD.
ACTION: Announcement of funding awards.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
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 the Fiscal Year 1997
Community Development Work Study Program (CDWSP). 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 careers in community and
economic development, community planning and community management, and
to provide a cadre of well-qualified professionals to plan, implement,
and administer local community development programs.
SOURCES OF FURTHER INFORMATION: Prospective students interested in

Colleges, States and areawide planning organizations interested in

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The CDWSP 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 CDWSP was enacted in the Housing and Community Development Act
of 1988. (Earlier versions of the program were funded by the Community
Development Block Grant Technical Assistance Program from 1982 through
1987 and the Comprehensive Planning Assistance Program from 1969
through 1981.) Eligible applicants include institutions of higher
education having qualifying academic degrees, and States and areawide
planning organizations who apply on behalf of such institutions. The
CDWSP funds graduate programs only. Each participating institution of
higher education is funded for a minimum of three students and a
maximum of five students under the CDWSP. The CDWSP provides each
participating student up to $9,000 per year for a work stipend (for
internship-type work in community building) and $5,000 per year for
tuition and additional support (for books and travel related to the
academic program). Additionally, the CDWSP provides the participating
institution of higher education with an administrative allowance of
$1,000 per student per year.
The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance number for this program
is 14.512.
On March 4, 1997 (62 FR 9897) HUD published a Notice of Funding
Availability (NOFA) announcing the availability of $3 million in FY
1997 funds for the CDWSP. The Department reviewed, evaluated and scored
the 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, U.S.C. 3545), the
Department is publishing details concerning the recipients of funding
