The Ohio State University and Texas Tech University are collaborating on a $1,336,024 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076). The project will conduct quantitative and qualitative analyses to examine how student debt affects participation in STEM majors and post-graduation outcomes. The research aims to identify factors that impact access to STEM education and the workforce, testing hypotheses on how college costs and educational debt influence student decision-making around STEM majors, degree completion, and career paths. The project will leverage unique administrative data from Ohio to perform causal analyses and investigate differences across socioeconomic and demographic groups, as well as by type of public institution. Complementary qualitative interviews with students at public universities will provide further insights into their subjective decision-making processes. The award, effective September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2029, supports this collaborative research effort between the two universities.
