Grant Overview
Priority Outcomes for Nevada STEM Scholarship Recipients
The Nevada STEM scholarship program is designed to support undergraduate, graduate, and professional students pursuing degrees in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics fields. To maximize the impact of this program, the funder has identified key priority outcomes that align with the state's economic development needs and workforce shortages.
Addressing Nevada's Workforce Gaps
Nevada's economy is driven by the tourism and hospitality industries, but the state is also seeking to diversify its workforce by investing in emerging sectors such as technology and renewable energy. The Nevada Governor's Office of Economic Development (GOED) has identified key industries, including advanced manufacturing, logistics, and clean energy, that require a strong STEM workforce to drive growth and innovation. By supporting students in these fields, the STEM scholarship program aims to address the state's workforce gaps and contribute to its economic development. The Las Vegas region, in particular, has seen significant growth in the technology sector, with companies like Switch and Zappos establishing major operations in the area.
Nevada's unique geography, with its rural and frontier counties, also presents challenges for STEM education and workforce development. Many rural areas lack access to quality educational resources and job opportunities, making it difficult to attract and retain STEM talent. The scholarship program prioritizes outcomes that address these disparities, such as increasing the number of STEM graduates from rural areas and supporting students who pursue careers in their home communities.
