The Minority Achievement, Creativity, and High-Ability Center
(MACH-III) at Prairie View A&M University (PVAMU) has secured support from the W.K. Kellogg
Foundation with a grant totaling $1,499,636. The funds will support the MACH-III Center in developing a
framework that will increase the number of Black males in public schools who teach students in science,
technology, engineering, and mathematics or STEM.

“We are gratified that the Kellogg Foundation has seen fit to support the outstanding work of the MACH-III
Center. Its successful model to increase the presence of Black male teachers in classrooms will bring new
insights to principals and superintendents and doubtless enhance the performance and overall
educational experience of many students,” said PVAMU President Ruth J. Simmons.
