Grant provides for minority aid
~>
ByAlexLim
StaffWriter
A $60,000 grant which will provide
financial assistance to minority students
Regional Planning and Public Admin¬
istration was recently awarded to the
Political Science Department at CSUF.'
The grant was awarded as part of a
Community Development Work Study
Program designed by the Department of
Housing and Urban Development to
train members of minority groups to
plan and implement state and local
Community Development Block Grant
According to Dr. Wayne Merchen, ad¬
ministrator of the Political Science City
and Regional Planning Program, two/
minority students enrolled with the pro¬
gram will receive up to $6,000 annually
in financial aid over the next two years,
"The grant actually provides for four
minority students to be awarded finan¬
cial aid over the next two years, but two
of the people we had selected pulled out
at the last moment," he said.
recruit any more students to fill the
other two spots because it was already
too late in the semester to do so and the
process of selecting a new candidate
would take too much time.
Merchen said the two students who
were selected to receive financial assi st¬
ance under the program, Carol Mc¬
Donald and Carlos Rodriguez, were
both graduate students in City and
Regional Planning.
Under the program, both students will
be exempt from paying university reg¬
istration fees on top of receiving free
books and a maximum of $6,000 a year
while completing their practical train-
The grant also stipulates that both
McDonald and Rodriguez will have to
carry a load of 12 academic unite a
semester for the next two years, while
working 12 hours a week for a CDBG-
edaynry -
Both the students will also have to
spend two years with a CDBG-funded
agency upon their graduation.
He said one of the students would be
working for the city of Fresno while the
other would complete the required
practical training working under Fresno
County.
According to Merchen, the program
was developed by the Department of
Housing and Urban Development to
train a group pf well qualified minority
professionals to design and administer
CDRCr programs.
'Throughout California, there were
only 10 such scholarships available un¬
der the program and four of those came
our way," he taid.
This is the third time the Political
Science Department and City and
Regional Planning Program have been
involved with a work study program.
Merchen said that during the 1970s,
■ 20 students were* given financial
l give
aid under earlier forms of ti
"This is a very good opportunity for
minority students because they will
receive the necessary outside practical
training as well as the other benefits that
the program provides," he said.
He said that it was becoming in¬
creasingly difficult to persuade students
in minority groups to enroll in the grad¬
uate program without offering them
some form of financial aid.
Therefore, I see this grant as a posi¬
tive step for the program and except for
the disappointment of the last minute
pull-outs, I think that it will benefit the
program greatly," said Merchen.
