New Mexico Highlands gets federal math grant

LAS VEGAS, N.M. (AP) – A federal grant is helping New Mexico Highlands University students with new science and math programs.
The northern New Mexico school announced this week a $2.9 million U.S. Department of Education grant is bringing a number of new mathematics services to campus.
Officials say a 25-computer math lab is funded through the five-year-grant. It also will provide support for students preparing to become secondary education math teachers.
