Students at the University of North Georgia now have access to years of funds that could help them focus on and earn their degrees. A recently awarded $615,000 grant will help students afford degrees in science, engineering, technology and math. “If students have money to attend school, they are less likely to need to work outside of school to help pay for it,” said Kate Maine, associate vice president for university relations.
