FSCJ was awarded the Building Opportunities for STEM Success (BOSS) Grant by the prestigious National Science Foundation. The award will support the College's efforts to strategically embed key study skills into six cross-sector courses in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).

A group of interdisciplinary STEM-focused faculty members will create and embed new study skill learning strategies to improve interest and learning gains for 360 students in the following courses: College Algebra, Earth and Space Science, Life in its Biological Environment, Introduction to General Chemistry, Hardware Configuration (IT) and Introduction to Engineering. The project will collaborate with the Northeast Florida Regional STEM2 Hub, the Florida Department of Education and the JAXUSA Partnership’s Earn Up initiative.
