Development (HUD) has awarded $90,000 to the

supplies, and conference travel for four terms; and
three paid internships in local public and nonprofit
community development organizations. 

“Planning and community development is essential if we
are to revitalize our urban areas,” said David Y.
Miller, associate dean in GSPIA. “The purpose of the
HUD Community Development Work Study Program grant is
in harmony with GSPIA's urban mission and our
partnerships with the local community. I am confident
that the students selected for this program will have
the dedication and capability to produce positive
change for our communities.”

Eligible students must apply to GSPIA by Nov. 1, 2005,
for studies beginning January 2006. Eligibility and
