Manhattan museums and educational centers will be receiving more than $2 million in federal grants to enhance their programs, U.S. Senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand announced Friday.

The grants come from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) to strengthen humanities projects and organizations. The funds will pay for resources, curricula, and advanced research and writing projects by humanities scholars at these higher education institutions.
