EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Michigan State University is getting a $650,000 grant to help students with academic potential and financial need earn their degrees in science, technology, engineering and math, or STEM fields.
The funding announced Friday for the East Lansing university's Lyman Briggs College is from the National Science Foundation. The money will be used for the college's Scholarship Program for Retaining, Inspiring, and eNabling Graduates, or SPRING.
Michigan State says the funding will allow the program to support at least 26 Lyman Briggs students. A hope is that some will pursue careers in STEM fields.
Lyman Briggs College is an undergraduate, residential college founded in 1967. Students and faculty work to bridge the gap between sciences and humanities through interdisciplinary teaching and research.
