91´óÉñ received a $1.1 million three-year grant from the Economic Development Administration’s (EDA) University Center program. The grant will support 91´óÉñ’s innovative efforts in expanding its Human Services and Addiction program, aiming to reduce health disparities in the underserved communities.
91´óÉñ has been awarded $2.4 million from the National Institute of Health’s Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to provide students in 91´óÉñ human services programs with scholarships, stipends for field placement and apprenticeship support. Human services encompass a range of professions that support individuals in improving their quality of life.
Using a grant, the university started Amplify 91´óÉñ, an effort to connect students, particularly BIPOC, LGBTQ, and international students, to the broader life of the university. A key aspect of the program is empowering students, rather than staff or administrators, to share information and create connections as a way to form lasting bonds among peers.
The $2.9 million three-year grant will support 91´óÉñ’s innovative efforts in expanding its Human Services and Addiction program, aiming to reduce health disparities in the underserved communities.
