CAS receives $150,000 from the Greater Texas Foundation
DENTON —More scholarships will be available to Texas Woman’s University students — thanks to generous grants from the Greater Texas Foundation (GTF).
“The foundation board of directors was pleased with the proposals from Texas Woman’s University and the university’s commitment to serve our state’s underrepresented populations and to bolster math and science education,” said Dr. Wynn Rosser, GTF executive director. “TWU is well suited for both.”
The GTF’s Math and Science Scholarship Program has awarded TWU $150,000 for students seeking teacher certification in math or science. Fifty thousand dollars of these grant funds will be used for student scholarships, while $100,000 will establish an endowment for future student scholarships.
“We are extremely grateful for these scholarship and endowment funds,” said Dr. Don Edwards, Associate Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and chair of the TWU math and computer science department. “These funds will allow TWU to significantly enhance the initiatives we have under way to meet the state’s critical need for more math and science teachers well into the future.” Students may contact Dr. Edwards at DEdwards@twu.edu for more information.
The Greater Texas Foundation serves the citizens and educational institutions of Texas by supporting initiatives that increase access to higher education, support teachers, and encourage parental and community involvement in education. For more information, visit www.greatertexasfoundation.org.
