Augsburg was ranked #3 in Minnesota for the total dollar amount awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) in 2012. Augsburg received three awards from NSF in 2012, totaling just over $1M. The top two spots are held by the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities and the University of Minnesota, Duluth. This positions Augsburg as the leader in NSF funding among private institutions of higher education in the state!
