SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Since its creation, the Community
Development Work Study Program has been administered by the Assistant
Secretary for Community Planning and Development. However, on September
6, 1994, the program was transferred to the Office of University
Partnerships under the Assistant Secretary for Policy Development and
Research. This newly created Office will administer HUD's ongoing grant
programs to institutions of higher education as well as create
initiatives through which colleges and universities can bring their
traditional missions of teaching, research, service, and outreach to
bear on the pressing local problems in their communities.
The Community Development Work Study Program was enacted in the
Housing and Community Development Act of 1988. Earlier versions of the
program were funded by the CDBG Technical Assistance Program (1982-
1987) and the Comprehensive Planning Assistance Program (1969-1981).
The Community Development Work Study Program provides funds for:
tuition support--the maximum amount of tuition may not exceed $3,000
per year for an undergraduate student and $3,500 per year for a
graduate student; work stipend--based upon the prevailing hourly rate
for entry positions in the community and economic development field and
the number of hours worked by the student at the work placement
assignment with a maximum amount of $6,000 per year for an
undergraduate and $9,000 for a graduate student; additional support--
financial support for books and travel related to the academic program
up to a maximum of $1,000 per year for an undergraduate student and
$1,500 per year for a graduate student; and administrative allowance--
to grantees to cover the administrative costs of the program fixed at
$1,000 per year for each participating student. Each participating
institution of higher education must have a minimum of three students
with the maximum number of ten students that can be funded.
On December 29, 1993, HUD published a Notice of Funding
Availability announcing the availability of $3 million in FY 1994 funds
for the Community Development Work Study Program (58 FR 68925). The
