Largest Federal Grant in FSC History Will Support New Programs for Hispanic Student Population
Farmingdale State College (FSC) announced it has been awarded a five-year, $3 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education under the Developing Hispanic-Serving Institutions (DHSI) Program authorized by Title V. This is the largest federal grant in the history of the College.
This landmark award will support the development of a new program at FSC, Education Milestones in Enrollment, Retention, and Graduation Excellence (EMERGE), which is designed to address barriers that may often prevent Hispanic and other, low-income students from achieving their academic goals.
