Grants

• Cornell University received a $45,700 grant from Motorola Foundation to fund a summer academy for minority high school students. Thirty-three high school students from 15 states and three foreign countries will come to the Cornell campus later this month for a one-week seminar in science and technology. Nearly one half of the students who participated in a similar program in 2007 went on to apply to Cornell.
