Prof. Dan Burkey was recently awarded a $2.5M S-STEM Grant from the National Science Foundation. S-STEM is a program that supports low-income and first-generation students. This particular program will develop a cohort model and curricular and co-curricular supports for students majoring in computing and data sciences at UConn. Working with co-investigators in CLAS and the Provost’s Office, the S-STEM will provide up to $15,000 per year to eligible students in support of their education. The S-STEM will run from 2024 through 2030.
