STEM funding for Vt. colleges on hold
BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) – Our region is already seeing the impact of the federal aid stop.
Earlier this week, we reported that about $8 million in funding from the National Science Foundation is headed to southern Vermont.
The research initiative would work with three colleges to increase STEM opportunities and bolster the economy.
However, after President Trump’s announcement pausing federal aid, that initiative is now postponed indefinitely.
Organizers say they’re waiting until they learn the state of federal grant funding.
