Paying for college can be an overwhelming financial strain for students and their families. Scholarships, grants and loans can ease the burden, but understanding the options and financial terminology can be challenging.

For help, students and families can look to the Stanislaus State Financial Aid and Scholarship Office. There, they’ll find the Financial Wellness Program and plenty of direction on how to access financial aid, choose loans and avoid costly financial missteps.




Dr. Jeffrey Frost always has taught his students about a skull found in North America that included the upper portion of a wolf’s jaw stuck inside the mouth of the skull.

These days, his Stanislaus State archaeology class is getting a different perspective. They get to hold a replica of that wolf’s jaw, thanks to the three-dimensional printer the anthropology department is using.

 

Introducing students to agriculture beyond the strenuous work in the fields was the impetus for the $274,128 United States Department of Agriculture grant awarded earlier this month to the Stan State Agriculture Program.

The grant for “Recruiting and Preparing Underrepresented Hispanic Students for Careers in Agriculture through Experiential Learning Programs,” is the fourth USDA grant the agriculture department has received for this and similar purposes since 2015 and the second largest during that time.
