Science and Engineering Scholarships and Fellowships Blog

The National Science Foundation has recently awarded Savannah State University with a $2 million dollar grant to provide funding for their students in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics fields (STEM). The grant was awarded as part of the NSF Historically Black Colleges and Universities Undergraduate Program for the Minority Access for Graduate Education and Careers (MAGEC).

The five-year grant will continue to strengthen excellence in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) that was established during the initial grant period by further expanding and deepening outreach, teaching and mentoring activities in three key areas: curriculum development and reform; expanded pathways for undergraduate recruitment, enrichment, retention and research experiences; and faculty development.

Grant funds will provide approximately 30 scholarships each year for qualified STEM majors, research experience at national and international (China, Malaysia and India) institutions, internship opportunities at local/regional industries and schools as well as support for faculty training in new and fast-developing research areas, teaching and learning activities.
