Roy Wilson, DTE Energy President and Chief Operating Officer Steve Kurmas, and several students.
The $1.4 million grant will be awarded as follows:
$1.2 million to the College of Engineering to support the DTE Energy Foundation Eos Program for Student Success, a pilot program for all aspiring engineers. (Eos is the Greek goddess of the dawn.)
$100,000 to the Center for Latino/a and Latin American Studies’ Summer Enrichment Program (SEP) to help incoming first-generation college students succeed in core classes and smoothly transition to college-level academics.
$48,000 to Wayne State’s Mike Ilitch School of Business for scholarships that will alleviate tuition costs and help students stay in school until graduation.
“Our partnership with the DTE Energy Foundation supports Wayne State’s mission of providing students with access and opportunity,” said Wayne State University President M. “Assisting students today benefits Michigan’s workforce and all of our communities tomorrow.”
Funding for the DTE Energy Foundation Eos Program for Student Success will establish an academic and financial assistance program for first- and second-year engineering students to help students build an academic support network, promoting success through a difficult phase of college.
“In partnership with the DTE Energy Foundation, this pilot program will benefit students through hands-on, real-world learning experiences and extensive academic support from instructors and peer mentors,” said Farshad Fotouhi, dean of the College of Engineering.
