LAREDO, Tex. (KGNS) – Tuesday, June 24, Laredo College and TAMIU announced a new partnership with the goal to support students in STEM and make higher education more accessible. The project is called LC-TAMIU STEM Connector, and it aims to improve the transfer process for engineering students.
Another highlight of the program is a new scholarship that is designed to help underprivileged and first-generation students pay for college. Dr. Minita Ramirez, President of Laredo College, said this is a great opportunity for students to get a head-start in the field.
