Currently starting its second year, the Title V Promoting Postbaccalaureate Opportunities for Hispanic Americans (PPOHA) grant provides academically-motivated graduate students with a financial option to costly student loans.

The fellowships are funded by a Department of Education Title V Hispanic Serving Institution grant called Advancing Graduate Programs en la Frontera, which was awarded to SRSU in September 2021 for a period of five years.

The grant promotes the academic success of Hispanic and low-income graduate students through developing new curricula and converting existing courses for online delivery, strengthening and expanding graduate student services to increase online accessibility, and providing need-based financial aid to graduate students through competitive fellowships.

The College of Graduate Studies Title V PPOHA grant is now accepting fellowship applications for the spring 2023 semester. For the application requirements and for, visit https://www.sulross.edu/graduate-student-support-center/ or email gradcenter@sulross.edu.
