Federal Grant Award Summary

St. Philip's College, operating under the Alamo Community College District, received a $1.85 million Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education under the Higher Education Institutional Aid program (CFDA 84.031) for the period of October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026. This award supports the institution's "Future Act 2025-2030 Comprehensive Development Plan," which is designed to expand institutional capacity, advance educational excellence, and strengthen student support services. As a minority-serving institution designated as both a Hispanic-Serving Institution and a Historically Black College or University, St. Philip's College utilizes this funding to enhance its management and fiscal operations while implementing activities that strengthen academic quality and institutional capacity.

The grant funding enables the college to develop and enhance institutional strengthening activities consistent with Title III program objectives, including curriculum development, student support services, and academic program enhancements. These investments build upon St. Philip's College's established portfolio of federal grant initiatives in technical education, including programs in cybersecurity, commercial drone operations, and STEM education. The project period concludes on September 30, 2026, with the institution subject to federal audit procedures and required record retention for three years following expenditure.
