TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL)-- Florida Agriculture & Mechanical University gets a huge financial boost from the US department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Agency.
The agency awarded the school two grants totaling $6 million over a three year period. The grants will support the consortium on materials and energy studies.
FAMU will provide leadership for the Consortia's research efforts,
including the improvement of novel energy materials.
Engineering students like Jonathan Levy says the grant can increase enrollment in science programs. "Ii believe it would be great influence on students and enrollment. In enrollment, $6 million can increase students by increasing the amount of scholarships these students would have as incoming freshmen."
The grants are a partnership of academic and national laboratories for developing and expanding the pipeline of individuals trained in energetic and nuclear materials.
