This $500,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports a multi-year initiative by Lawson State Community College, a Historically Black Community College (HBCC) in Alabama, to increase engagement, persistence, and completion of STEM degrees. The project aims to serve the national interest by implementing evidence-based practices such as service-learning, learning communities, undergraduate research, internships, and a summer bridge program. Key partners include local industries to ensure students develop skills in emerging STEM technologies. The initiative also builds pathways for two-year STEM students to transfer to four-year universities. The mixed-methods approach will assess the impact of these high-impact practices on STEM persistence, degree completion, and transfer rates, with the goal of informing STEM education best practices at similar HBCCs nationwide.
