Tagged: , ,

“In its 79-year history, Yakima Valley Community College has educated thousands of students from all over the Valley.

Now, it will pour nearly $3 million into making sure that even more students become educated.

YVCC was recently awarded a federal grant of $575,000 a year for five years.

Called “Developing Hispanic Serving Institutions,” the Department of Education grant will enable the college to focus on increasing the numbers of students who attend college, particularly Hispanic students, and improving graduation rates.”*
