The St. Mary's College of Maryland was awarded a three-year, $900,000 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education under the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education (FIPSE) federal grant program.
The grant will support the College's "Catalyzing Marine Science" initiative, which aims to advance institutional reforms and innovative strategies to improve postsecondary instruction quality in marine science. Over the 36-month period, the College will direct funding towards activities designed to expand postsecondary opportunities in marine science, such as developing new courses and academic programs, conducting faculty development workshops, and undertaking other efforts to strengthen marine science education. As the prime awardee, St. Mary's College will oversee delivery of grant-funded products and services to achieve the goals of both modernizing its marine science offerings and increasing student access to related postsecondary programs.
