“The Texas Education Consortium for Male Students of Color, a program AUSTIN, Texas — in the Division of Diversity and Community Engagement at UT Austin, has been awarded a $375,000 grant from the Kresge Foundation to support its efforts in helping low-income African American and Latinx males enter the college pipeline.”
“Since its inception in 2013, the Consortium has built a statewide network of educators who are working together to help male students of color prepare for success in high school and college. With the Kresge grant, the program aims to build upon its partnerships and educational offerings, including its Texas Male Student Leadership Summit, an annual conference held each semester at UT Austin that brings together hundreds of students, educators and higher education professionals from across Texas and the nation.”
“The grant will also allow for the Consortium to build upon its evidence-based intervention strategies and practices that are offered to K-12 and higher education institutions. Designed and developed by Consortium partner institutions (school districts, community colleges and four-year universities), these offerings include research and best practices for better serving K-12 and college students, mentoring services, and a summer leadership academy for local middle- and high-school students.”
