In October 2021, Santa Rosa Junior College was selected to receive a Hispanic-Serving Institutions grant for the District’s Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) and Health Sciences programs. The Department of Education’s Hispanic-Serving Institutions-Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (HSI-STEM) awards will total approximately $4.69 million over a 5-year period.
