Lake Superior State University broke new ground with the opening of the the Cannabis Center of Excellence in 2019. Now, the university offers its first cannabis chemistry scholarship.
Hazel Park, Mich.-based Steadfast Labs, whose mission reportedly is to ensure access to safe cannabis medicine, establishes an annual $1,200 scholarship for students pursuing a degree in cannabis chemistry at LSSU. Applicants must be at least sophomores and have a GPA of 3.0 or higher. Preference will be given to students who reside in Wayne and Oakland Counties, the service areas for the company.
“When our Cannabis Center of Excellence began operations, members from Steadfast Labs toured the facilities and conducted guest lectures for our students. By funding this scholarship, Steadfast Labs again demonstrates their commitment to supporting future chemists who will enter the workforce and provide public safety in the cannabis field,” says Dr. Steven Johnson, dean of the College of Science and the Environment at LSSU.
LSSU President Dr. Rodney S. Hanley adds, “This generosity from Steadfast Labs is the latest example how our Cannabis Center of Excellence continues to pave the way in this discipline. Our growing relationship with Steadfast Labs additionally furthers numerous parts of our strategic plan, including enhancing academic offerings, positioning cannabis studies as a national leader of academic inquiry and bolstering community partnerships.”
