Basic Theme for Title V Grant Proposal

The Goal of Gavilan College's Title V Project is to accelerate higher education success for Latino and low-income students

For specific details regarding Gavilan's 2010 theme,

contact Fran Lozano and Vice President Kathleen Rose

Why this goal?

The educational attainment of Latinos in California is very low.

"In order to remain economically competitive, California’s economy will require a more educated workforce than currently exists. In 2005, 31 percent of Californians 25 and over had a bachelor’s degree or higher.

A large portion of the demographic growth in California through 2040 will be Latino. Multiple research studies on California conclude that the state’s economic competitiveness will be highly dependent on the educational attainment of Latinos.
