Grijalva (D-AZ) today congratulated Estrella Mountain Community College on being awarded more than $500,000 by the U.S. Department of Education under the Developing Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSI) Program. Rep. Grijalva released the following statement:\r\n\r\n\t\u201cI am thrilled to see Estrella Mountain Community College receive this well-deserved funding to help expand educational opportunities for Hispanic students,\u201d Rep. Grijalva said. \u201cDuring the 2014-2015 academic year, 45.6% of Estrella Mountain Community College\u2019s student population was Hispanic. HSI\u2019s play a critical role in graduating students of color, and it is vital for the federal government to continue to provide funding opportunities that will strengthen the capacity of these institutions. A quality education can open the door to upward mobility in our society, and this grant will help Estrella Mountain ensure that opportunity is shared with diverse and deserving future leaders. I can\u2019t wait to see the myriad ways that these students will take their education and change the world for the better.\u201d\r\n\r\n\t###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["http://grijalva.house.gov/index.cfm?sectionid=13&itemid=2217"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8653118275105953, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
