The U.S. Department of Education's Higher Education Institutional Aid program (CFDA 84.031) awarded a $600,000 Project Grant to the West Hills Community College District (WHCCD) in Coalinga, CA. The grant, awarded on October 1, 2024, will support the project "CONVIVIR CON NUESTROS ESTUDIANTES ES LA CLAVE AL EXITO [MEETING OUR STUDENTS WHERE THEY'RE AT IS THE KEY TO THEIR SUCCESS] AT WHCCD & CSU FRESNO" which aims to strengthen management, fiscal operations, and academic quality at the institution, with a focus on expanding educational opportunities and improving academic offerings for underrepresented and low-income student populations. As a minority-serving Hispanic-Serving Institution, WHCCD will use the funding to develop and implement activities such as curriculum development, faculty training, endowment building, and student support services to better serve its diverse student body, which includes many first-generation college students and migrant farmworkers. The grant will be active through September 30, 2025.
