A South Coast university has announced that it has received nearly $3 million in new grants to support its academic programs and campus projects.
California Lutheran University officials say the biggest single grant is $1.5 million to support its TRIO program. The money will help more than 200 low-income, first-generation, or disabled students.
The university also received more than a half-dozen other grants to support everything from scientific research to repairs to the campus chapel.
