Abraham announces $2.2M for Grambling STEM education
Fifth District Congressman Ralph Abraham recently announced that the National Science Foundation (NSF) is awarding a $2.2 million grant to Grambling State University aimed at producing more undergraduates pursuing degrees in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).
The goal of the project is to implement a holistic approach to STEM education that will yield higher retention and graduation rates of STEM undergraduates, particularly in the fields of math, physics and data analytics.
“STEM jobs are in high demand, and we should be working with our higher education institutions to see that Louisiana students are the ones filling them. I appreciate the National Science Foundation for awarding this grant to Grambling, and I look forward to seeing the positive impact this funding will have on GSU’s students and our region,” said Abraham, R-Alto.
