A&T GETS $200,000 KELLOGG
FOUNDATION GRANT
A&T State University has., re
ceived a grant of $200,000 from,
the W. K. Kellogg Foundation
of Battle Creek, Michigan.
The grant, the largest single
gift ever received by the uni
versity, is to be used over a
four-year period in support of
certain improvements envisioned
for the university.
Tn making the grant, Kellogg
officials said of A&T, "The uni
versity periodically seeks to
identify its strengths and weak
nesses and to devise workable
methods for attack upon the
recurring problems, and the
four-year Foundation grant will
serve to further the self-im
nrovement efforts of this uni
'?ersity which is one of the
leaders in an important tier of
"ublic institutions of higher ed
ucation."
The announcement of receipt
of the grant was made at a
press conference on Monday by
Dr. L. C. Dowdy, president of
the university. The grant had
been confirmed in a letter from
Dr. Gary King, associate pro
gram director of the Kellogg
Foundation.
"The $200,000 gift marks a
giant step in the university's
campaign to raise $1 million
during the next four years,"
said Dr. Dowdy. The drive, be
gun last February with a gift
of $100,000 from Burlington In
dustries, now has to its credit
more than $730,000 in cash and
In commitments to be paid
within four years.
Dr. Dowdy said the Kellogg
funds will assist the university
in accelerating its program for
faculty and curriculum develop
ment, with particular emphasis
in selected curricular areas and.
initially, to the School of Engi
neering. The grant will aid in
the development of the univer
sity's faculty through attendance
at professional meetings and
through In-service education in
cluding graduate training to
wards the doctorate degree.
The funds are also to be used
in support of a Summer En
richment Program for incoming
freshman students in engineer
ing and the sciences; to assist
the university in preparation
for its accreditation by the En
gineering Council for Profes
sional Development and to pur
chase equipment, supplies, books
and periodicals to implement
^elected curricular areas.
He added that the total re
sources derived from the drive
are to be used to supplement
State appropriated funds and to
care for those costs for which
public funds are not available
in such areas as: Scholarships
for high ability, but needy stu
dents; faculty development
through faculty fellowships, sal
ary supplements, distinguished
professorships and visiting scho
lars; faculty and student travel;
program development in the
purchase of new equipment,
books and periodicals and spe
cial programs and consultative
services and seed money for
faculty research projects.
