Current and Recent Grant-Funded Projects

  • In December 2013, Landmark College received a $500,000 award from the Johnson Scholarship Foundation to establish the Access to Innovative Education (AIE) fund. This fund provides full scholarships to students with high financial need.

    As this is a matching grant, the College is actively seeking other funders with similar interests to support this fund, and has been awarded funding by the following foundations: F.I.S.H. Foundation, Mount Laurel Foundation, William H. Pitt Foundation, and the Solon E. Summerfield Foundation.

    For more information about AIE, contact Lynne Feal-Staub, Director of Grants and Sponsored Programs, at lynnefealstaub@landmark.edu.

    Access to Innovative Education: STEM Opportunities for Students with Learning Disabilities (AIE-STEM)

    In addition to the general AIE funding secured by the College, in September 2016 Landmark College received a $650,000 award from the National Science Foundation (award no. 1643326) to provide scholarship and other supports to students studying in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) fields. Scholarships up to $10,000 will be offered over the next five years to students with significant financial need studying in the Life Sciences or Computer Science areas. In addition to scholarship funding, these AIE-STEM scholars will receive mentoring support, internship opportunities, and other programmatic support. Additional information related to Landmark College’s AIE-STEM award can be found here.
