An expansion of the College Internship Study to a group of six new institutional partners, all Historically Black Colleges and Universities that are part of the United Negro College Fund’s Career Pathways Initiative, a grant ($1,489,273) from the National Science Foundation (NSF) was awarded to the Center in 2019.
