Palomar named Hispanic-serving college; federal designation means up to $2.5 million in grants - California

“Federal officials notified Palomar College this week that the school will be eligible for as much as $2.5 million in grants during the next five years as a “Hispanic-serving” institution.

Palomar officials said they plan to use the money to establish a tutoring and academic resource center for struggling students. Schools designated “Hispanic-serving” get extra federal money for programs that support underprepared students and those likely to drop out of college.”
