UNG College Assistance Migrant Program

The College Assistance Migrant Program (CAMP) at the University of North Georgia (UNG) received a $2,125,000 federal grant to renew its program for five additional years. "I was relieved and thrilled," said Christian Bello Escobar, director of Migrant Programs and Services at UNG who leads CAMP and High School Equivalency Program (HEP). "Receiving a perfect grant score shows that hard work and collaboration pays off. We received the maximum amount of money we're allowed to request, which is a little more than the last grant cycle." https://ung.edu//camp-renewed-for-five-more-years-with-2.1
