land-grant college
Federally endowed university
A land-grant college is an American university established under the Morrill Acts of 1862 and 1890, which granted federal land to states to fund institutions emphasizing agriculture, engineering, and practical sciences.
These schools—including state universities like Penn State, Texas A&M, and Cornell—were designed to make higher education accessible beyond the traditional elite: She attended the land-grant college two counties over.
