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),
