SNYDER ANNOUNCES UNIVERSITY OF CENTRAL ARKANSAS FUNDS

WASHINGTON, D.C. - United States Representative Vic Snyder (AR-02) announced today that the United States Department of Education has awarded $347,135 under the Strengthening Institutions Program to the University of Central Arkansas in Conway.

The funds will be used to revitalize faculty and staff development, transform and redesign academic programs, and to strengthen student academic support services for the purpose of improving the success of under-prepared and low-income students.

"I am pleased to see UCA receive some much-needed assistance in helping students achieve their educational goals," Congressman Snyder said.

The Strengthening Institutions Program assists eligible institutions of higher learning in attaining self-sufficiency by providing funds to improve and strengthen their academic quality, institutional, management, and fiscal stability.
