Michigan-based Lake Superior State University (LSSU) made headlines back in 2019 when it established the nation’s first cannabis-focused chemistry program, The Cannabis Center of Excellence. The school now finds itself back on the front pages of the news after announcing a cannabis chemistry scholarship, marking the first of its kind across the country.
In an official statement, the university revealed that Steadfast Labs, a safe cannabis medicine research facility also based in Michigan, has established an annual $1,200 USD scholarship fund for students at the cannabis chemistry school at LSSU. The scholarship requires applicants to be either sophomores or older, who have a GPA of 3.0 or higher. Those who live in Oakland and Wayne Counties will be given preference.
