HUD Community Development Work Study Fellowships.

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

There is a need to increase racial, ethnic, and economic diversity at UVM and to increase diversity and professional training of professionals in the community development field. This program aims at attracting economically disadvantaged and minority students to UVM for graduate study in community development and public administration. We now have three Community Development Fellows doing graduate study in the CDAE Department, and continue to market the fellowships with the goal of a total of five fellows enrolled by September, 2005. These fellowships will increase the diversity of the graduate student body at UVM and enrich the intellectual and cultural environment for CDAE graduate programs. Graduates with these fellowships will strengthen the community development field. () Project members: Kolodinsky, Becker, Schramm, Schmidt, C. Koliba, Y. Ahladas
