Grants to this Grantee
for a project to improve U.S. public higher education
The American Academy of Arts and Sciences is launching a three-year project to improve the quality and accessibility of public colleges and universities in the U.S. American public higher education is facing cutbacks in government support, competition from for-profit education providers and foreign universities, and pressures to respond to emerging technological changes. A grant for this project would support engagement of state and federal policymakers, elected officials, university and business leaders, philanthropists, and ultimately the broader public to improve understanding of the challenges, and to support reforms at the state, federal, and institutional levels.
