Girls and students from underrepresented minorities would get more support to pursue science, technology, engineering, and math careers under this bill. It creates a competitive grant program — authorized at $10 million per year through 2029 — that would fund local school districts to run STEM education programs including tutoring, mentoring, summer camps, field trips, teacher training, and internships. Priority goes to districts serving low-income communities, and each grant covers $250,000 per year for four years.
Congressional Summary
This bill directs the Department of Education to make grants to local educational agencies to pay the costs of carrying out science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education activities for girls and underrepresented minorities.
