Hispanic Pilot Project | Programa Informativo sobre Colegios y Universidades

Solicitud de Propuestas

El Programa Informativo sobre Colegios y Universidades (CUAP, por sus siglas en ingles) es un programa de pequeñas subvenciones financiado por la Junta de Regentes del Sistema Universitario de Georgia para el Proyecto Experimental Hispano. El programa está abierto a los profesores y al personal de los seis miembros del consorcio del Proyecto Experimental Hispano: La Universidad de Georgia, Dalton State University, Gainesville College, Georgia Southern University, North Georgia College and State University y Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College.

Descripción

El CUAP es un componente del Proyecto Experimental Hispano financiado por la Junta de Regentes del Sistema Universitario de Georgia. La meta del CUAP es proporcionar fondos iniciales para estimular el desarrollo de los proyectos innovadores que respondan a las necesidades de estudiantes hispanos en Georgia. Específicamente, CUAP apoyará actividades diseñadas para aumentar el número de estudiantes hispanos que:

Se informen sobre las ventajas de un diploma de escuela secundaria y de una educación post-secundaria

Obtengan un diploma de escuela secundaria y prosigan a una educación post-secundaria

Idealmente, los proyectos de CUAP conectarán a los estudiantes, a los profesores y al personal del Sistema Universitario de Georgia con el personal del sistema escolar local y con organizaciones de la comunidad para crear conciencia de parte de los estudiantes hispanos de las oportunidades disponibles para proseguir estudios superiores. Por lo tanto, las actividades propuestas deben ser de tipo colaborativo entre los profesores o el personal de UGA, DSC, o NGCSU y un socio externo. Los socios externos pueden ser personal docente del sistema escolar K-12, organizaciones de la comunidad, otras organizaciones no sin fines de lucro u organizaciones no gubernamentales (ONG) que trabajen con latinos. Las propuestas deben definir claramente la naturaleza de la alianza colaborativa propuesta.

Preference will be given to sustainable projects that will show tangible results in the short term as well as have a potential long-term impact. Proposals should outline the anticipated short-term measurable outcomes (e.g., numbers of students reached, development of new programs, total number of contact hours, etc.) and the potential long-term impact. Proposals should fall in the $500-$4,500 range. Each partner organization is expected to make an in-kind contribution to the project. Funds must be expended by June 30, 2003.

The deadline for applications is September 20, 2002.
