| Overview
|
| The Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments will receive a Community Development Work Study Program grant of $360,000 to help three economically disadvantaged and minority students each at the University of the District of Columbia, George Mason University, Howard University, and the University of Maryland at College Park receive their masters degrees in community building fields. At the University of Maryland and George Mason University, students will be able to pursue a degree in Public Administration; at the University of Maryland at College Park they can pursue a degree in Community Planning; and at Howard University they can pursue a degree in either Public Administration or Urban Economics. The grant will not only be used to pay for their education but will also provide funds for work experiences related to their course work. Among the agencies that students will be able to work with are the District of Columbia City Council, the Arlington Partnership for Affordable Housing, the Montgomery County Parks and Planning Department, Manna Community Development Corporation, and Action Langley Park, a coalition of residents, labor, business, and churches.
