With the help of two grants totaling $7.2 million, Stanislaus State is hoping to increase the number of students in science, technology, engineering and math fields and help high-achieving, low-income students complete degree programs. Stanislaus State’s College of Science was awarded a five-year $5.8 million Department of Education grant to fund Students Transitioning to Engaged and Motivated — or STEM —Success, a program designed to help improve freshman and transfer student retention and graduation rates in the STEM fields. “We were looking at different interventions to help students become more successful in STEM disciplines,” said Mark Grobner, dean of the College of Science.
