This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $1,499,991 awarded in October 2022 will fund the Missouri University of Science and Technology to deliver scholarships, undergraduate research opportunities, and faculty mentoring to 27 low-income students pursuing bachelor's or combined bachelor's/master's degrees in computer or electrical engineering through September 2028. The goal is to increase degree completion rates for these students in STEM fields. As part of the NSF's Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics program (CFDA 47.076), this award aims to generate knowledge about supporting low-income students' academic success, retention, and career outcomes. A $75,000 subaward to North Dakota State University will support internal evaluation and dissemination of project findings through peer-reviewed publications and conferences to advance understanding of best practices for motivating students from disadvantaged backgrounds to pursue advanced engineering degrees.
