This $162,534 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports a collaborative research project between The Ohio State University and Texas Tech University. The objective is to identify factors affecting participation in STEM education and the workforce, with a specific focus on examining the impacts of student debt on STEM major selection, degree completion, and post-graduation outcomes. The project will leverage unique population-level administrative data from Ohio to conduct quantitative causal analyses, as well as qualitative interviews with students at public universities. Key deliverables include investigating how college costs and educational debt influence student decisions, and determining how student debt affects major choice, major switching, and degree completion. The project aims to provide insights into improving access to STEM education and careers, especially for underrepresented groups. The grant is effective from September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2029.
