SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The HSI-WSP is administered by the Office of 
University Partnerships under the Assistant Secretary for Policy 
Development and Research. The Office of University Partnerships 
administers HUD's ongoing grant programs to institutions of higher 
education and creates initiatives through which colleges and 
universities can bring their traditional missions of teaching, 
research, service, and outreach to bear on the pressing local problems 
in their communities.
    The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance number for this program 
is 14.512.
    The HSI-WSP was created through an earmark of funds appropriated 
for the Community Development Work Study Program. Eligible applicants 
are private non-profit Hispanic-serving community colleges having 
qualifying academic degrees. Each participating institution of higher 
education can be funded for a minimum of three and a maximum of ten 
students. The HSI-WSP provides each participating student up to $12,200 
per year for a work stipend (for internship-type work in community 
building) and tuition and additional support (for books and other 
expenses related to the academic program). Additionally, the HSI-WSP 
provides the participating institution of higher education with an 
administrative allowance of $1,000 per student per year. On April 9, 
1997 (62 FR 17498), HUD published a Notice of Funding Availability 
(NOFA) of $3 million in FY 1997 funds for the Hispanic-Serving 
Institutions Work Study Program. The Department reviewed, evaluated and 
scored the applications received based on the criteria in the NOFA. As 
a result, HUD has funded the applications announced below, and in 
accordance with section 102(a)(4)(C ) of the Department of Housing and 
Urban Development Reform Act of 1989 (103 Stat. 1987, 42 U.S.C. 3545), 
the Department is publishing details concerning the recipients of
