FOND DU LAC — Marian University has been awarded $1.049 million by the U.S. Department of Education as part of the Congressionally Directed Spending project.

The university will use the money to invest in new scientific equipment that will benefit students whose field of study relates to science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).

"By investing in the latest scientific equipment, Marian will return these funds to the community in the form of newly educated nurses, radiologic technicians, forensic scientists and other STEM professionals that are in high demand here in Wisconsin," Marian University President Michelle Majewski said.

U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin led the request for allocation as part of the Fiscal Year 2024 funding bill that was recently approved by Congress.
