Holy Family University Receives $2 Million Federal Grant to Support and Retain Low-income Students

Holy Family University receives a $2 million Title III Strengthening Institutions grant from the U.S. Department of Education to improve academic quality and fiscal stability.

At Holy Family University, a third of the incoming classes come from low-income families, and students often work one or two jobs to afford college.

To help with some of the challenges students face, the Northeast Philadelphia school sought some help — and got it. Last Monday, Holy Family says, it received a $2 million Title III Strengthening Institutions grant from the U.S. Department of Education to improve academic quality and fiscal stability.
