Work-Study Mentorship RFA
To meet the state's 60x30TX plan goals and targets, the
Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) is providing an opportunity
to Texas institutions of higher education that provide mentoring or tutoring
services to high school and college students. The 84th Texas Legislature
appropriated $5 million for the biennium to support the Work-Study Student Mentorship
Program, first implemented in fall 2007.
Data tracked by College Readiness and Success staff at the
THECB show that providing grants to student mentors and tutors increases the
number of students who pursue and persist in higher education. The funds not
only increase graduation rates for students being mentored or tutored, but also
increase graduation rates for student mentors.
The
deadline for submitting the Notice of Intent (NOI) is August 7. The deadline
for submitting completed applications is August 21. Applications will not be
considered without a NOI.
Visit
Request for Applications (RFA) for the Work-Study Mentorship Program in the
Research and Project Grants Section of the Coordinating Board's website for
more information.
