| Summary | The University of Missouri–St. Louis is creating a new School of Engineering and building a pipeline of first-year engineering students by targeting local school districts and community colleges. As part of this effort, UMSL will expand its flagship Bridge Program, which helps high school students develop the skills needed to succeed in complex math and engineering courses. JSMF’s investment will help UMSL launch its School of Engineering and provide scholarships to students with low-to-moderate incomes, reducing financial barriers and helping UMSL attract top talent from the St. Louis region. |
