Program Description
The Center for Latino Policy Research (CLPR) established the Graduate and Undergraduate Mini-grant Program in 1991 as part of its mission to create a community of scholarship and mentorship. The Mini-grant Program is intended to promote, support, and assist in the professional development of students who are conducting public policy research on issues affecting the Latino community in the United States. The CLPR's current research priorities are in the area of higher education access, immigration, and political participation. The CLPR, however, will support policy research in any field in which there is strong faculty or student interest.
