Pathways to success for hispanic and low-income students

The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education awarded a $600,000 Project Grant under the Higher Education Institutional Aid program (CFDA 84.031) to Mohave County Community College District (MCCCD) in Kingman, Arizona. The grant will support MCCCD's "Pathways to Success for Hispanic and Low-Income Students" initiative, which aims to expand educational opportunities and improve academic offerings for underrepresented and low-income student populations. As a state-controlled institution of higher education, MCCCD has demonstrated expertise in delivering targeted educational and economic development programs through previous federal grant awards, including a $747,320 Rural Business Development Grant and a business incubator project with the Hualapai Tribal Nation. This new $600,000 grant will enable MCCCD to continue its efforts to strengthen management, fiscal operations, and academic quality to better serve Hispanic and low-income students in the Kingman, Arizona region.
