The National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education awarded Cuesta College $365,000 on October 15, 2026, through the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to expand integrated early STEM career exploration in a rural setting. Performance extends through September 30, 2029, at San Luis Obispo, California. Cuesta College will develop a comprehensive early STEM career exploration framework serving high school students across San Luis Obispo County, including rural, low-income, and first-generation college-bound students. The project implements a combined approach involving a STEM Explorer Day event, STEM immersion summer camps, a STEM Explorer seminar course, and coordinated outreach with local high schools and industry partners. Activities aim to increase STEM career aspirations among participating high school students, help students identify whether an academic or career-technical education pathway aligns with their interests and goals, and build a scalable model for early STEM exploration at other rural-serving community colleges. The project strengthens the transition from high school to two-year college STEM pathways by providing early, hands-on experiences that connect classroom learning with real-world opportunities.
