Appropriation; IHL for enhancing STEM-related facilities and programs at Alcorn State University.

HB 1793 proposed allocating $1.5 million from Mississippi's state general fund to Alcorn State University for the 2025-2026 fiscal year to improve its STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) campus facilities and academic programs. The bill would have provided direct funding specifically for Alcorn State University's science, technology, math, and medical-related initiatives. It was referred to the Appropriations Committee but died there on February 26, 2025, meaning it did not become law. This was a funding measure, not a policy change, and would have directly benefited Alcorn State University's STEM offerings.
