13 Groups to Pursue STEM Equity with ED Funding - David Nagel, THE Journal
The United States Department of Education is looking to give girls a boost in science and math. ED revealed this week that it will fund projects from 13 organizations to help high school girls improve their proficiency in STEM subjects. The four-year grants are being provided under the Department of Education's Women's Educational Equity Act Program. The 13 groups--ranging from K-12 school districts to research organizations to universities--will receive a total of about $2.4 million in first-year funding. The grants focus on meeting the requirements of Title IX (aiming to eliminate inequities based on sex), with a particular emphasis this year on "activities to help at-risk students meet challenging state academic standards and graduate," according to information released by ED.
