Grant Overview

Ohio's disadvantaged students face significant disparities in STEM education, with rural students being 30% less likely to have access to advanced STEM courses compared to their urban counterparts. This gap is particularly pronounced in the Appalachian region, where limited resources and infrastructure hinder the availability of STEM education opportunities. The new funding opportunity aims to address this issue by supporting STEM competitions that encourage problem-solving and innovation among disadvantaged students. By providing resources and mentorship, these initiatives can increase engagement in STEM fields and inspire future careers in science and technology. Ohio's unique rural-urban divide requires tailored approaches to address the specific needs of its student population. Unlike neighboring Michigan, Ohio's funding priorities focus on addressing the STEM education gap in rural areas due to its distinct geographic and economic characteristics. ## STEM Education in Ohio's Rural Areas ## The state's rural areas face unique challenges in terms of access to STEM education resources, including limited infrastructure and a shortage of qualified STEM educators. Successful applicants will need to address these challenges through innovative approaches that leverage Ohio's existing STEM education initiatives. ## Who Should Apply in Ohio ## The eligibility criteria for this funding opportunity in Ohio prioritize nonprofit organizations with a proven track record of supporting disadvantaged students in STEM education. Applicants must demonstrate their ability to provide resources and mentorship opportunities to participants, as well as track participation and performance metrics to measure the initiative's impact. By supporting STEM competitions and education initiatives, Ohio can become a leader in fostering a diverse and talented STEM workforce.
