STEM Pathways Through College Act: Expanding Access to Higher Education
This act aims to improve access to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education for high school students. Through competitive grants, students can earn college credits while still in high school, reducing college costs and accelerating degree completion. The legislation specifically focuses on supporting underserved student populations.
Key points
Free STEM Courses: High school students can participate in college-level STEM coursework without tuition, fees, books, or supply costs.
Credit Transferability: Credits earned through these pathways will be fully transferable and recognized by public higher education institutions within the state, easing the transition from high school to college.
Support for Underrepresented Students: At least half of grant funds will be dedicated to supporting low-income students, students of color, students with disabilities, and other subgroups to ensure equitable access to STEM education.
Transportation Assistance: The act includes provisions for covering transportation costs for low-income students to ensure their full participation in STEM programs.
