In October 2009 GateWay was awarded a five year, $2.7 million Title V grant (award number P031S09050) from the U.S. Department of Education. Title V funding supports the retention and preparedness of students attending an Hispanic-serving institution.
GateWay's Title V program is designed to increase student success by strengthening developmental education and implementing early academic support strategies. Grant funds will be used to:
- Design a comprehensive faculty development program
