Grant Overview

Delaware's STEM education landscape is marked by a significant gender gap, with girls underrepresented in fields such as computer science and engineering. This disparity is evident from an early age, with girls making up only 22% of Delaware's Advanced Placement computer science test-takers in 2020. The state's small size and relatively dense population make it an ideal location for targeted interventions aimed at addressing this imbalance. The STEM Education Access for Girls initiative provides funding to organizations that can develop and implement programs specifically designed to increase girls' participation in STEM fields. Eligible applicants include educational institutions, nonprofits, and businesses with a track record of promoting STEM education among girls. Delaware's unique context, with its mix of urban and suburban communities, requires applicants to demonstrate an understanding of the state's education system and the specific barriers faced by girls in STEM. Unlike neighboring states, Delaware's funding prioritizes programs that can be scaled statewide due to its compact geography. The state's major industries, including finance and healthcare, drive the demand for STEM-skilled workers. With 60% of Delaware's workforce employed in STEM-related fields, the need for diverse talent is critical. Delaware's education infrastructure, including its network of schools and community organizations, supports the delivery of targeted STEM programs. ## Eligibility Criteria for Delaware ## Applicants must demonstrate experience working with girls in STEM education and have a clear plan for measuring program impact. ## Delaware's STEM Education Challenges ## The state's education system faces challenges in providing equitable access to STEM education, particularly for girls and underrepresented minority groups. Addressing these challenges will require innovative and targeted approaches. ## Operational Requirements for STEM Programs ## Successful applicants will need to demonstrate not only a clear understanding of Delaware's STEM education needs but also the operational capacity to deliver programs that can be sustained over time.
