Grant Overview

Utah records the lowest female representation in STEM bachelor's degrees among Western states at 28 percent, according to Utah System of Higher Education data. This disparity is most pronounced in computer science and engineering fields where female enrollment falls below 20 percent at the state's two largest universities. The grant opportunity funds mentorship structures pairing secondary students with female STEM professionals employed in the state's software, biomedical, and aerospace sectors.

Geographic distribution shows 62 percent of Utah's STEM industry jobs located along the Wasatch Front, while rural districts in the Uintah Basin and Iron County report fewer than one advanced placement STEM course per high school. Demographic records indicate that female students in these rural counties face additional travel barriers exceeding 90 minutes to reach university-based summer programs. Proposals must document recruitment strategies that address both urban corridor and rural county access.

Eligibility criteria require applicants to submit memoranda of understanding with at least three Utah-based technology employers willing to host internship placements. Application narratives must include baseline counts of female students enrolled in advanced math and science courses and project annual increases of at least 12 percent in those enrollments. Assessment protocols rely on pre- and post-program surveys measuring intent to pursue STEM postsecondary pathways.

Utah requires all funded projects to align with the state's computer science education master plan and to report outcomes through the Utah State Board of Education data system. Unlike Colorado applications, Utah mandates explicit documentation of employer partner contributions to mentorship time and internship slots before funds are disbursed, with continuation dependent on verified placement rates for participating students.
