Monmouth College has been awarded nearly $1 million by the National Science Foundation (NSF) to launch an ambitious new program aimed at increasing the success of Pell Grant eligible students pursuing degrees in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
The $999,764 grant, part of the NSF’s competitive Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (S-STEM) program, will fund the College’s new FLASH initiative—Focus on Learning for All with STEM as a Home.

Selected scholars could receive up to $15,000 per year in scholarships and participate in intensive mentorship, undergraduate research, and professional development opportunities. See press release for more information.
