Ruben Gallego Congratulates Friendly House on New Department of Education Grant Award | 2016-07-18 | 2016 | 2016-07 | Democrat | House | AZ | Ruben Gallego | G000574 | rubengallego.house.gov | legacy | Washington, DC – The Department of Education announced that Friendly House will receive grant funding through the Talent Search program, which provides assistance to help individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds who have the potential to succeed in higher education. Friendly House will receive more than $260,000 per year for five years, for an estimated total of $1.3 million to fund the Friendly House/TRiO Talent Search college access program. That program provides academic, career, and financial counseling to help students finish high school and pursue post-secondary education. TRiO also provides guidance with financial aid and the college admission applications process. Rep. Gallego released the following statement: “For many years, Friendly House has helped provide disadvantaged students with the tools they need to pursue further education. At a time when the cost of higher education is soaring, this grant will allow Friendly House to continue the important work they are doing in our community to expand access to education and training opportunities. “I want to congratulate Friendly House on receiving this significant award. Higher education should be within reach of all Americans, and Friendly House is helping Arizona’s students to achieve that goal.” ## | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
