Department Grants
Our Commitment to Empowering Students
Throughout our history, the Biological Sciences department at Mount Saint Mary’s University has successfully sought and received numerous grants from a wide variety of sources. From private donations to prestigious federally funded grants, we empower students and scholarly success by creating scholarship opportunities, supporting student research, elevating classroom innovation, establishing STEM mentorship programs, and more.
Additionally, our ongoing partnerships with other Southern California educational institutions – including USC, UCLA, and Loyola Marymount University – provide our students the opportunity to conduct research across a wide array of topics.
