WASHINGTON - Senator Chuck Grassley today said that Iowa State University has received a $2,729,630 competitive grant from the National Science Foundation.
Iowa State University will use the grant money to fund the project “New, GK-12: Growing the Green Collar Workforce for the 21st Century.”
Each year, thousands of local Iowa organizations, colleges and universities, individuals and state agencies apply for competitive grants and loans from the federal government. The funding is then awarded based on each local organization or individual’s ability to meet criteria set by the federal entity.
