Alamo colleges advocacy consortium project

The Alamo Community College District, doing business as San Antonio College, was awarded a $900,000 Project Grant under the U.S. Department of Education's Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education (CFDA 84.116) program. The grant, with a performance period from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2027, will support the Alamo Colleges Advocacy Consortium Project. This initiative aims to enhance postsecondary instruction, quality, and expand educational opportunities, with a focus on supporting veteran students, addressing basic student needs, and developing innovative strategies for underserved populations, particularly Hispanic and low-income students. The grant builds on the district's extensive federal grant portfolio, which includes TRIO Student Support Services, Upward Bound Math and Science, and Hispanic-Serving Institution STEM enhancement projects. The Alamo Colleges Advocacy Consortium Project will leverage partnerships with institutions like Arizona State University, University of Texas at Austin, and St. Mary's University to further expand its educational and research impact.
