A Slippery Rock University program has been awarded a large national grant to help sustain liberal arts courses.
SRU’s Humanities Ladder Program has been awarded a $100,000 Humanities Access Grant through the National Endowment for the Humanities.
The Humanities Ladder program is a 10-week initiative started in 2015 introducing high school students at Aliquippa to topics not normally covered in high school including art history, gender studies, and philosophy.
This funding will allow for expansion of the program to other districts in order to help students understand programs of study in the humanities and find motivation to attend college.
