Grant Overview
Target Outcomes for New Hampshire STEM Students
The Individual Grant To Support Students In STEM Fields prioritizes outcomes that address the state's unique economic and demographic challenges. New Hampshire's aging population and low birth rates create a pressing need for a skilled workforce to fill emerging STEM fields. The New Hampshire Department of Education and the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation have identified key areas of focus for STEM education, including increasing access to computer science and advanced manufacturing programs.
One of the primary target outcomes of this grant is to increase the number of underrepresented students pursuing STEM careers. Research has shown that diverse teams are more innovative and productive, making it essential for New Hampshire's economy to tap into the talents of its diverse population. The grant aims to support students from underrepresented groups, including women, minorities, and individuals with disabilities, as they pursue education and careers in STEM fields.
Measuring Success in New Hampshire's STEM Ecosystem
To measure the success of this grant, the funder will track several key performance indicators, including the number of recipients who complete their STEM programs, secure employment in their field, and remain in New Hampshire. The state's strong economy, driven in part by its technology and healthcare sectors, provides a robust job market for STEM graduates. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, New Hampshire's tech industry is expected to grow 10% by 2028, outpacing the national average.
The New Hampshire Higher Education Commission, a regional body that coordinates education policy across the state, will also play a critical role in tracking the long-term impact of this grant. By supporting students from underrepresented groups, the grant aims to create a more diverse and inclusive STEM workforce, driving innovation and economic growth in the state.
New Hampshire's Distinctive STEM Landscape
New Hampshire's unique geography and economy present both opportunities and challenges for STEM students. The state's rural areas, such as those found in the North Country, often lack access to advanced STEM programs and resources. In contrast, the southern region, with its proximity to Boston, offers a more robust STEM ecosystem. The grant will prioritize support for students from rural areas, helping to bridge the gap in STEM opportunities across the state.
Applicants who demonstrate an understanding of these challenges and develop targeted strategies to address them will be well-positioned to achieve the grant's priority outcomes. By supporting students from underrepresented groups and promoting diversity in STEM fields, the Individual Grant To Support Students In STEM Fields will help drive economic growth and innovation in New Hampshire.
