DE PERE, WI (WTAQ) – St. Norbert was awarded one of the largest single grants the college has ever received.
The National Science Foundation granted $998,759 for the “Community-building, Mentoring, and Research Experiences to Develop Undergraduate STEM Majors’ Scientific Identities and Preparation for STEM Careers” project.
The project will help fund four-year scholarships to 18 low-income students pursuing bachelor’s degrees in any of the STEM fields of biology, chemistry, computer science, environmental science, geology, mathematics, and physics at St. Norbert.
Anindo Choudhury, professor of biology and environmental science at St. Norbert, says….
“This grant is doubly gratifying because it resonates deeply with the mission of our institution as a Norbertine, Catholic liberal arts college.”
The first nine students will begin their education in 2020 with another nine to start in 2021.
