Seven Hudson Valley Catholic colleges to earn $3.5 mil National Science Foundation grant Seven Catholic higher education institutions in the Hudson Valley have secured a five-year, $3.5 million grant from the National Science Foundation’s Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) program. The seven institutions are participants of the Lower Hudson Valley Catholic Colleges and Universities Consortium (LHVCCUC), an alliance of private Catholic colleges and universities across New York State. ACCU member institutions participating in the program are Manhattan College, Molloy University, Mount Saint Mary College, St. Francis College, St. John’s University (NY), and St. Thomas Aquinas College. Over the course of the next five years, this collaborative grant aims to increase the presence of underrepresented students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields in the seven colleges. The program will have a director housed at Molloy, with a steering committee represented by members from each institution. The LSAMP program provides funding to alliances that implement comprehensive, evidence-based, innovative, and sustained strategies that ultimately result in the graduation of well-prepared, highly competitive students who pursue graduate studies or careers in STEM.
