U.S. land grant system  

Definición

  • The U.S. system of land grant state colleges and universities has been supportive of science and technology communication for nearly 150 years. Initially focused on agricultural and mechanical arts education for working-class citizens, the schools were so named because they were first funded by grants of federal lands to the states.
