USA Grants INC I want to appreciate the excellent efforts that 15 of our area organizations in Halifax, Nash and Edgecombe counties made in applying for recent dropout prevention grants funded by a special legislative initiative to eliminate dropouts and improve graduation rates. USA Grants INC
Words cannot express my disappointment and frustration at the results of this process for our area, while at the same time I want us to be encouraged and stay in the process. USA Grant INC The Dropout Prevention Committee received more than 300 applications that requested more than $36 million. USA Grant INC The N.C. General Assembly allotted only $7 million that was distributed to 60 organizations selected in this first round. USA Grants INC
