Cleveland State Community College recently received a $10,000 grant from Piedmont Lithium Foundation, according to a news release.

The grant funds will be used to purchase an Advanced Technologies Department industrial sensor trainer, which will support students in the electrical engineering technology program.

The foundation supports educational activities that improve access to STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) education for Tennessee students.
