LAGUNA BEACH, CA — Project Scientist, a national non-profit that turns girls onto science, technology, engineering, and math, will receive a grant of $1 million from Trane Technologies, payable over three years. The grant includes funding for Project Scientist to add a new mentoring program and expand internationally into Mexico.
