SB 2913 Mississippi Senate · 2025 Regular Session

General Fund; FY2026 appropriation to Alcorn State University for STEM-related programs.

SB 2913 was a bill to allocate $1.67 million from Mississippi's General Fund to Alcorn State University for STEM-related programs during fiscal year 2026 (July 2025-June 2026). It would have provided direct funding to support the university's science, technology, engineering, and math initiatives. The bill died in committee on February 26, 2025, and did not become law. This was a straightforward funding measure, not a policy change, affecting only Alcorn State University's STEM programs.
