Grant Overview
Priority Outcomes for New Hampshire's STEM Scholarship Program
The Charitable Organization's STEM scholarship program for New Hampshire aims to increase the representation of historically underrepresented populations in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics fields. To achieve this, the program focuses on specific priority outcomes that align with the state's unique needs and challenges.
Addressing Workforce Gaps in New Hampshire's Economy
New Hampshire faces a significant workforce gap in STEM fields, particularly in the technology and healthcare sectors. According to the New Hampshire Department of Employment Security, the state's technology industry is projected to grow 10% by 2028, outpacing the national average. However, the state's education system is struggling to produce enough graduates with the necessary skills to fill these positions. The scholarship program's priority outcomes are designed to address this gap by supporting students from underrepresented populations who are pursuing STEM majors.
The New Hampshire Charitable Foundation, a key partner in the state's education and workforce development initiatives, has identified the need for increased diversity in STEM fields as a critical priority. By supporting students from historically underrepresented populations, the scholarship program aims to increase the number of STEM graduates who can contribute to New Hampshire's economy. The program's focus on STEM fields is particularly relevant to the state's regional economy, which is characterized by a strong presence of technology and healthcare companies along the Massachusetts border.
Measuring Success in New Hampshire's STEM Scholarship Program
To measure the success of the scholarship program, the Charitable Organization will track several key outcomes, including the number of scholarship recipients who complete their STEM degree programs, the percentage of recipients who remain in New Hampshire after graduation, and the number of recipients who enter the state's workforce in STEM fields. By tracking these outcomes, the organization can assess the program's effectiveness in addressing the state's workforce gaps and make data-driven decisions about future funding priorities.
The program's focus on supporting students from historically underrepresented populations is also aligned with the state's broader education and workforce development initiatives. For example, the New Hampshire Department of Education's STEM Education Initiative aims to increase the number of students pursuing STEM fields and improve the state's overall STEM literacy. By supporting students from underrepresented populations, the scholarship program can help to advance these goals and promote greater diversity and inclusion in New Hampshire's STEM workforce.
New Hampshire's unique demographic features, such as its rural counties and aging population, also play a role in shaping the program's priority outcomes. The state's rural areas often face significant barriers in accessing STEM education and career opportunities, making it essential to support students from these regions. By providing scholarships to students from historically underrepresented populations, the program can help to address these disparities and promote greater equity in access to STEM education and careers.
For small businesses and entrepreneurs in New Hampshire, the scholarship program can help to foster a more diverse and talented workforce, which is critical for driving innovation and economic growth. According to the Small Business Administration, New Hampshire is home to over 131,000 small businesses, which employ nearly 300,000 people. By supporting students from underrepresented populations who are pursuing STEM majors, the scholarship program can help to ensure that these businesses have access to the talent they need to compete in the global economy.
In terms of grant opportunities, New Hampshire businesses and nonprofits can also explore other funding sources, such as the New Hampshire Business Finance Authority's grant programs, which provide support for business development and job creation initiatives. Additionally, the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation offers a range of grant programs that support education, workforce development, and other initiatives that align with the scholarship program's goals.
