$1 Million Research Fund
Thanks to our David B. Jenkins Graduate Research Initiative Endowed Fund, we have a million-dollar fund for students to pursue research.

Whatever area you're interested in, we’ll be there to help you make your goals a reality.
“I took full advantage of the small class sizes because the professors were able to come around when I had important questions and walk me through the challenges I faced. The experience I had with the faculty and my mentor was phenomenal. I’m forever grateful to them; I felt supported in every way possible. Without my mentor at BSU, I wouldn’t be where I am today. BSU gave me the hands-on training to launch my career in cybersecurity and now I’m protecting the state government against cyber-attacks.”
