California Lutheran Gets $4.6 Million Grant for STEM

California Lutheran University has received a $4.6 million grant to expand its STEM — or science, technology, engineering and math — programs.  The university will use the money primarily to encourage Latino and low-income students to persist in STEM programs. More than a quarter of CLU's STEM students are Latino. However, among freshmen who start in STEM, Latino students are less likely than their peers to earn degrees in the field.
