The AT&T Foundation has awarded the University of the Virgin Islands a grant of $28,000 in support of the University’s Mathematics Behind the Science summer bridge program. Math Behind the Science is a six-week residential program designed to enhance the mathematics preparedness of college-bound students who are interested in pursuing careers in science, mathematics, engineering, technology or medicine.
The AT&T Foundation grant will provide full funding for four students. In particular, it will allow UVI to recruit more international students who are neither citizens nor permanent residents of the United States, especially those from other Caribbean nations. A news release is available from the Media Section of the UVI website – http://www.uvi.edu – and from this direct link.
