Lilly Endowment Takes Aim at Brain Drain

Increasing meaningful economic opportunities in Indiana is a key aim of a new initiative from Lilly Endowment Inc. The Endowment is offering up to $40 million to Indiana colleges and universities to devise new educational programs that will lead to the identification and development of such opportunities in Indiana for college graduates.

Over the past several years, the Endowment has encouraged efforts to improve the unacceptably low educational attainment levels of Indiana’s residents. It has funded research to learn more about the problem, provided support to strengthen Indiana colleges and universities, and approved grants to an array of institutions from colleges and universities to community foundations and from K-12 organizations to Goodwill Industries. This initiative builds on these efforts.
