Ventura County university gets grants to help low-income students and support campus projects

Cal Lutheran

California Lutheran University kicks off its 2025 academic year with nearly $3 million in new grants.

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.
