Texas State receives $2.5 million grant for STEM research

Texas State was awarded a nearly $2.5 million grant from the National Science Foundation’s Division of Undergraduate Education on Tuesday. 

The $2,499,933 grant was given to support research into improving undergraduate Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics education in a Hispanic Serving Institution. 

“Our world’s increasing reliance on technology and data means strong STEM-focused minds will continue to be in high demand, and we should give students in these fields every advantage to succeed,” Sen. John Cornyn said in a statement.  “I applaud area leaders for their work to obtain this grant, and I’m grateful to the Trump Administration for supporting the students at Texas State University.”
