Other Programs for Women and Minorities
Ted Greenwood, Program Director
Promoting the Success of Minorities in Specialized Math and Science High Schools
The Sloan Foundation had a program to assist selected high schools that are members of the National Consortium for Specialized Secondary Schools of Mathematics, Science and Technology to:
- increase the number of African American, Hispanic or American Indian students in those Consortium schools where they are underrepresented;
- contribute to the success of underrepresented students in Consortium schools where they underachieve relative to the students generally; and
- help Consortium schools become major feeders of underrepresented minority students into the pipeline leading to mathematics, science and engineering careers
Special Projects for the Advancement of Minorities in Science and Engineering
The Sloan Foundation occasionally supports especially attractive projects to promote the success of underrepresented minorities in mathematics, science and engineering that are unrelated to our minority PhD or specialized high school programs. The Sloan Foundation does NOT make grants to individual minority students to support their education except through our Minority Ph.D. Program.
Current and recent projects are listed below. (* indicates program supported by an Officer Grant. # indicates Sloan support for the program is complete.)
