$2.4 Million Grant Awarded To Wolfson STEM

Miami Dade College was awarded a $2.4 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education’s

“Strengthening Institutions—Hispanic Serving Institutions” program in October.

The grant will support the Wolfson Campus’ science, technology, engineering and mathematics first-year programs, also known as STEM.

The program gives Hispanic students, who are underrepresented in the science and technology fields, a chance to succeed. The grant will also be used to create a STEM Summer Bridge Program for first-time-in-college Hispanic students between the ages of 17 and 25.
