The University serves students from diverse national, cultural and economic backgrounds.

The grant will also support five current scholarships awarded to students who are pursuing STEM-related degrees in the fields of Engineering, Science, Physics and Mathematics and have experienced a gap in tuition, a financial need, or to supplement a merit-based scholarship.
