The federal Project Grant award of $296,375 from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education under the Minority Science and Engineering Improvement Program (CFDA 84.120) is intended to enhance STEM capacity at Rust College, a private, historically black college located in Holly Springs, Mississippi. The grant will support a range of initiatives designed to improve STEM education quality and increase participation of underrepresented ethnic minorities, particularly minority women, in scientific and technological careers. The funding will be used for curriculum development, research opportunities, student support services, and other projects that align with the program's objectives of long-range improvement in science and engineering education at predominantly minority institutions.
