Lehigh University:

Henry Luce Foundation
A $300,000 grant from the Henry Luce Foundation will enable Lehigh to expand the study of Chinese language and culture on campus and in China. “The Chinese Bridge Project will construct a series of interrelated, multifaceted, and enduring bridges between Lehigh and China—spans that are symbolic, virtual, and physical, as well as being both inspiring and practical,” Lehigh’s proposal states.

Mellon Foundation
Lehigh recently received a $1.4 million grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation in support of an undergraduate program in global Islamic studies. The grant, which is funded under the foundation's Liberal Arts Colleges Program, is the first step in establishing a new Center for Global Islamic Studies.

Toyota USA Foundation
Students at Broughal Middle School will be using hand-held GPS units and Web-based inquiry modules to learn about the environment, climate, and energy, thanks to a recent 3-year grant from the Toyota USA Foundation.
