As a result, COC was one of 10 California community colleges selected to work with NASA and the California Space Grant Consortium to enhance Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) preparation and provide a bridge opportunity for 100 community college students to study STEM fields at the university level.
The partnership provided COC AST with a $7,150 grant to fund 11 students with $650 scholarships for project-related expenses and $2,500 for materials.
