Bellin college program expansion and student support

The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education awarded a $400,000 Project Grant to Bellin Memorial Hospital Inc., a private non-profit educational institution in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The grant, part of the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education (CFDA 84.116) program, will support Bellin College's program expansion and student support initiatives over a 3-year period from September 2024 to August 2027.

The grant funding will be used to enhance the quality, accessibility, and effectiveness of Bellin College's postsecondary education programs. Specific initiatives may include developing innovative educational strategies, supporting underserved student populations, implementing institutional reforms, addressing basic student needs, and expanding educational opportunities for groups such as veterans, rural students, and gang-involved youth. The grant builds on Bellin Memorial Hospital Inc.'s prior experience in securing federal education grants, including CARES Act funding during the COVID-19 pandemic.
