Development Work Study Program

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant

Secretary for Policy Development and

ACTION: Announcement of funding

SUMMARY: In accordance with section

102(a)(4)(C) of the Department of

Housing and Urban Development

Reform Act of 1989, this document

notifies the public of funding awards for

the Fiscal Year 1997 Community

Development Work Study Program

(CDWSP). The purpose of this document

is to announce the names and addresses

of the award winners and the amount of

the awards to be used to attract

economically disadvantaged and

minority students to careers in

community and economic development,

community planning and community

management, and to provide a cadre of

well-qualified professionals to plan,

implement, and administer local

community development programs.

SOURCES OF FURTHER INFORMATION:

Prospective students interested in

participating in the CDWSP should

contact directly the grantees listed

below representing the colleges or

universities that they would be

interested in attending; HUD does not

directly accept student applications or

areawide planning organizations

application kit (which contains detailed

information about the CDWSP) or a brief

written program summary should

contact HUD USER, P.O. Box 6091,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

CDWSP 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 CDWSP was enacted in the

Housing and Community Development

Act of 1988. (Earlier versions of the

program were funded by the

Community Development Block Grant

Technical Assistance Program from

1982 through 1987 and the

Comprehensive Planning Assistance

Program from 1969 through 1981.)

Eligible applicants include institutions

of higher education having qualifying

academic degrees, and States and

areawide planning organizations who

apply on behalf of such institutions. The

CDWSP funds graduate programs only.

Each participating institution of higher

education is funded for a minimum of

three students and a maximum of five

students under the CDWSP. The

CDWSP provides each participating

student up to $9,000 per year for a work

stipend (for internship-type work in

community building) and $5,000 per

year for tuition and additional support

(for books and travel related to the

academic program). Additionally, the

CDWSP provides the participating

institution of higher education with an

administrative allowance of $1,000 per

student per year.

The Catalog of Federal Domestic

Assistance number for this program is

14.512.

On March 4, 1997 (62 FR 9897) HUD

published a Notice of Funding

Availability (NOFA) announcing the

availability of $3 million in FY 1997

funds for the CDWSP. 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,

U.S.C. 3545), the Department is
