Projects Receiving CUAP Funding
The College and University Awareness Program (CUAP) provides seed grants for innovative projects designed to increase the number of Hispanic students who: (1) are informed about the advantages of a high school diploma and post-secondary education; and (2) earn a high school diploma and continue on to college. Through CUAP, seven grants totaling nearly $30,000 were awarded to USG institutions in Fall 2002. The funded projects include partnerships between USG institutions and local schools, churches, and non-profit organizations.
