New AANAPISI News! UIC Receives $2 Million for Asian American Students Initiative
The University of Illinois at Chicago has received a five-year, $2 million grant to support recruitment, retention and graduation of Asian American and Pacific Islander students.
The grant, from the U.S. Department of Education's Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institution program, will fund academic and writing skills development, college preparation, career advancement and financial aid.
It is UIC's second federal grant to serve this minority in the past year, said Kevin Kumashiro, UIC professor of Asian American studies and education, and the grant's principal investigator.
See The UIC AANAPISI Initiative page for information on the new grant and other continuing programs.
