Columbus State University will be receiving a $1.2 million grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF). The purpose of this grant is to extend the quantity and quality of resources available to teachers to increase the number of STEM teachers. This grant compliments one awarded by UTeach in July totaling donated funds to $2.6 million.
The two grants are expected to help recruit under-represented groups of high school students into STEM fields. The university will be able to provide internships, summer camp, scholarships, and seminars. The funds will be targeted to high-need schools that have high teacher turnover rates.
