This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $1,498,465 will support the Pennsylvania College of Technology in providing scholarships, mentoring, and cohort building to 45 low-income students pursuing associate's degrees in transportation-related fields from 2022-2028. Administered under the federal STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), the grant aims to increase degree completion among underrepresented groups in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
Specifically, the Pennsylvania College of Technology, a subsidiary of The Pennsylvania State University, will offer scholarships and academic/social supports including a pre-orientation program, dedicated advising and career coaching, and contextualized mathematics videos. The project seeks to improve retention, graduation rates, and employment outcomes for transportation scholar recipients compared to similar student populations lacking such resources. Evaluation will assess program implementation and student outcomes to guide continuous improvement. Findings will be disseminated to benefit the field more broadly.
