The Bangor Daily News and Penobscot Bay Pilot reported on the $250,000 in philanthropic funding from an anonymous donor to support graduate students whose degree progress has been jeopardized by the loss of federal research funding. Approximately 20 students will receive awards of up to $10,000 each, with priority given to doctoral students nearing degree completion who have lost assistantship funding.
