Bergen rebounds: assist, advance and achieve

The U.S. Department of Education's Higher Education Institutional Aid program (CFDA 84.031) awarded a $598,269 project grant to Bergen Community College in Paramus, New Jersey, effective October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2025. The grant will support the "BERGEN REBOUNDS: ASSIST, ADVANCE AND ACHIEVE" initiative, which aims to strengthen the college's management, fiscal operations, and academic quality, with a focus on expanding educational opportunities and enhancing academic offerings for underrepresented and low-income student populations. The grant funding will enable Bergen Community College to develop and implement activities such as curriculum development, faculty training, endowment building, and student support services. As a Hispanic-Serving Institution, the college plans to use the grant to further its mission of providing higher education, workforce training, and community-based educational programs.
