Schreiner University Receives $3.64 Million Federal Grant to Enhance Student Support and AI Literacy

Schreiner University has been awarded a $3,644,174 federal grant through the Title III – Strengthening Institutions Program. This five-year 'Building a Better Future' initiative aims to bolster student success, expand workforce-aligned learning opportunities, and develop artificial intelligence (AI) capacity across the university. The grant will establish a new Center for Academic Success, offering coordinated coaching, advising, and tutoring, including AI-supported resources. It will also facilitate the expansion of opportunities for students to earn industry-recognized credentials, develop an electrical engineering program, and update academic programs to meet evolving workforce demands. Starting in Fall 2027, all first-year students will earn an AI credential. The initiative particularly focuses on serving rural, first-generation, and low-income students.
