Nursing programs, environmental research, special needs, and arts students have something in common. They are a few of the beneficiaries of grants that have been provided this year to colleges and universities. Students might not feel all of the effects of grants directly. However, millions of dollars in grant money has this year benefited institutes of higher learning; initiatives that often involve students. A few of these grants and initiatives include:
Grace College: This Winona Lake, Indiana, college has received a $5 million National Science Foundation grant. The grant money is to be applied to researching the effects of climate change on Great Lakes water quality. The money is to be provided to Grace College in yearly installments of $75,000 over the course of five years, according to Dr. Nate Bosch, an environmental biology professor and director of Kosciusko Lakes and Streams, a Grace College community water quality program.
Harding University: This Searcy, Arizona, university has received $3,500 grant from a major insurance company. The funds, awarded to Harding' Cannon-Clary College of Education and the Arkansas Teachers for National Board Certification, is to be applied to a Harding University hosted Arkansas Teachers for National Board Certification conference that's scheduled for January 2011. It's to help pay for events, as well as keynote speaker Dr. Jerry Parks, a middle school teacher of social studies who was inducted into the Teacher Hall of Fame in 2009.
Kent State University: This Kent, Ohio, university has received a $1 million US Department of Energy grant. These funds is to be dispersed over the course of three years. It's to benefit studies related to the storage and release of carbons.
Loyola University: This New Orleans, Louisiana, university has received a $1 million-plus Health Resources and Services Administration grant. Issued to benefit a new nursing degree by paying in part for the faculty and staff needed to run it. Loyola University plans to launch the online degree, which is a doctor of nursing, in 2013.
Marygrove College: This Detroit, Michigan, college has received a $20,000 Erb Foundation grant. Student participation in an Institute of Music and Dance at Marygrove College will benefit from this award. Provided to Marygrove College in two $10,000 annual installments, the monies are to pay for scholarships for students participating in the school's art, dance, music and theater classes.
Marylhurst University: This Marylhurst, Oregon, university has received a $75,000 Oregon Community Foundation grant. The money, provided through the foundation's Sande Emmy Fund, is to benefit a music therapy program. Marylhurst University students as part of what's known as Creative Arts Therapies for Kids, or CATs 4 Kids, work with special needs children.
Grants that are provided to colleges and universities can go a long way not only toward helping students who study there, but toward helping the community at large. Some might feel the immediate benefits in their ability to participate in college and university studies. In the long-term, grants such as these might benefit the environment, the health of others and more.
Normally, when students think of awarded money for school it's after they've done a search for online grant and scholarship funds that might apply to their personal needs. While this benefits the individual student, the grants issued to institutions benefit traditional and online education needs for a great many future career professionals.
