These grants will provide a better opportunity for minority students to successfully complete their first year of college, have a successful academic career and eventually graduate and get good jobs right here in Connecticut.” The amount of an institution’s ConnCAS grant is based upon its performance in the enrollment and graduation of Hispanic/Latino, African American, Asian American and Native American students. “We will continue to enhance our efforts to reach out to Latino and African American students as we continue our efforts to make state colleges and universities a more welcoming community for all,” Governor Rell said. © Copyright by NorwalkPlus.com.
