Education Grant to Aid Low-Income Students

http://www.azcentral.com/community/phoenix/articles/2009/11/05/20091105citygrants1105.html

Mesa and Phoenix are among seven cities receiving $250,000 grants aimed at doubling the number of low-income students completing their higher education. MCC, MPS and City of Mesa will draft plans to achieve the goal, using funds from the Communities Learning in Partnership grant sponsored by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the National League of Cities. The goal is to take low-income students beyond simple enrollment in a university, community college or a certificate-based program, by improving graduation and completion rates.
