Grant Overview

Mississippi's young girls face significant barriers to pursuing STEM education, with only 25% of the state's STEM workforce comprised of women. According to a recent report, 60% of Mississippi's schools reported a lack of resources and support for STEM education. Building STEM Capacity in Mississippi's Schools Eligible applicants include qualified nonprofit organizations that can provide hands-on learning experiences, mentorship, and resources to support STEM education for girls. To apply, organizations must demonstrate a strong understanding of Mississippi's education landscape and a plan for how they will address the unique challenges faced by girls in STEM. Mississippi's After-School STEM Programs for Girls initiative requires applicants to show a clear understanding of the state's education system and a plan for how they will inspire interest in STEM fields among young girls. Unlike neighboring states, Mississippi requires a specific focus on addressing the state's significant gender disparities in STEM. Mississippi has a diverse economy with major industries in healthcare, education, and manufacturing. The state's infrastructure includes a mix of urban and rural areas, with varying levels of access to resources and services. Demographically, Mississippi has a diverse population with a strong presence of young people. ## STEM Education in Mississippi's Schools The application process for Mississippi's After-School STEM Programs for Girls initiative is competitive, with a limited number of awards available. Applicants must submit a detailed proposal outlining their plan for supporting STEM education for girls, including a budget and timeline. To be eligible, applicants must be registered 501(c)(3) organizations with a proven track record of supporting STEM education. ## Empowering Girls in STEM in Mississippi By providing hands-on learning experiences, mentorship, and resources, the initiative aims to enhance educational outcomes and equip girls with essential skills for future careers in STEM. The state's existing infrastructure, including schools and community organizations, provides a solid foundation for growth.
