The National Science Foundation's Advanced Technological Education (ATE) program awarded a $349,913 Project Grant to the College of the Muscogee Nation in Okmulgee, Oklahoma. The grant project, running from June 2024 to May 2027, aims to serve the national interest by providing STEM curricula with geospatial technology (GST) modules to an underserved population of primarily Native American students. The goal is to improve student mindset and persistence in science courses, helping them recognize their potential for success in STEM-related fields. As a tribal college, the institution is uniquely positioned to support indigenous students in pursuing high-technology careers that can contribute to the local tribal economy. The project will create GST-related STEM curricula, recruit underrepresented students, and provide professional development for instructors and staff. The broader impacts include generating geospatial technology educational content, establishing student recruitment pipelines, and securing partnerships with corporate and tribal entities to address workforce needs on the reservation.
