Delaware State University has received $1.6 million in federal funding, the state’s Congressional delegation announced on Monday.

The funding for the Dover university includes $866,000 for an agriculture incubator, $300,000 for a mentoring project for young Black men that will provide summer jobs to 80 Black male DSU students and $490,000 to establish a Space Center within the existing Optical Science Center for Applied Research.

The University of Delaware is getting $410,000 on the Space Center project.

“From agriculture to career development to space education, these federal dollars will be instrumental in strengthening DSU’s ability to prepare young people for their futures while investing in our collective future,” Congresswoman Lisa Blunt Rochester said.
