Blue Cross Blue Shield of Louisiana funds the 2009 STAR Program
Ochsner Academic Community Outreach was awarded a $36,000 grant from Blue Cross Blue Shield of Louisiana to fund the 2009 Science, Technology, Academics, and Research (STAR) summer program for local high school students. This grant will cover the cost of numerous research supplies, classroom supplies, and, most impressively, a brand new Gel Documentation System that will provide technological advancements to the students while they are working in the iLab. This is the second year that Blue Cross Blue Shield has provided funding for the program. Without this partnership, the STAR program would not be able to provide the advanced and extensive programming that it does today.
