Grant Overview
Priority Outcomes for Vermont Individual Scholarships for Academically Talented Low-Income Students
Target Outcomes for STEM Education in Vermont
The Individual Scholarships for Academically Talented Low-Income Students grant aims to support students in Vermont pursuing higher education in STEM fields. A key priority outcome for this grant is to increase the number of low-income students who successfully complete STEM degree programs. The Vermont Agency of Education and the Vermont Student Assistance Corporation are key state agencies that will be involved in tracking and supporting these outcomes. Vermont's unique geographic feature, its rural landscape with many frontier counties, poses challenges for students accessing STEM education and career opportunities.
Measuring Success in Vermont's STEM Education Ecosystem
Success for this grant will be measured through several key performance indicators, including the number of students awarded scholarships, retention rates of scholarship recipients in STEM programs, and the graduation rates of these students. Additionally, the grant will track the number of students who implement programs or activities that support their peers in STEM fields, fostering a culture of academic support and community engagement is not the focus, however. For instance, a student might develop a tutoring program for younger students or participate in science fairs to promote STEM education among their peers. The Vermont Community Foundation, as the funder, will be interested in these metrics as they indicate the impact of their investment in Vermont's future. Applicants should be prepared to outline how they plan to achieve these outcomes and how their proposed activities align with the grant's objectives. The Agency of Commerce and Community Development (ACCD) in Vermont provides various resources for innovation and development, which could be relevant when implementing projects that support STEM education.

Vermont has been working to enhance its STEM education ecosystem, with a focus on improving access to quality education for all students, particularly those from low-income backgrounds.

Applicants should demonstrate an understanding of Vermont's educational landscape and how their proposed activities will contribute to the state's priorities in STEM education. For example, they could highlight how their project aligns with the state's efforts to promote career and technical education (CTE) or how it leverages resources available through Vermont's higher education institutions.
