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 1998 
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,

Partnerships, Department of Housing and Urban Development, Room 8110, 
451 Seventh Street, SW, Washington, DC 20410, telephone (202) 708-1537, 
extension 5918. To provide service for persons who are hearing-or

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 April 2, 1998 (63 FR 16340) HUD published a Notice of Funding 
Availability (NOFA) announcing the availability of $3.5 million in FY 
1998 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 
awards, as set forth below.
