Northwest ISD Earns Grant to Support STEM Students

Northwest ISD is proud to announce it has earned grants from the National Math & Science Initiative and Department of Defense STEM Education & Outreach Office for their student population’s military connections. With dedicated funding from the DoD, the NMSI has launched its College Readiness Program – or CRP – at NISD’s three comprehensive high schools.

“NMSI’s College Readiness Program has proven to be exemplary in engaging students in STEM, especially students who are historically underrepresented in these subject areas,” said Louie Lopez, DoD STEM Director. “The Department of Defense offers unique and immersive internship and career opportunities across the defense laboratories and centers, including uniformed civilian roles. STEM skills, such as critical thinking and problem solving, are required for those opportunities and set the foundation for success across other careers and professional endeavors.”
