Grant Overview
Target Outcomes for Oregon's Scholarship Program to Support Upperclassman Students in STEM Fields
The Banking Institution's Scholarship to Support Upperclassman Students seeking a Bachelor's of Science from a STEM program within the College of Arts & Sciences is designed to drive positive change in Oregon's economy and communities. The program's target outcomes are closely aligned with the state's priorities, including the Oregon Higher Education Coordinating Commission's (HECC) strategic plan to increase the number of students graduating with STEM degrees.
Increasing STEM Graduates and Workforce Development
One of the primary outcomes of this scholarship program is to increase the number of Oregon students graduating with STEM degrees. Oregon's economy is driven by industries such as technology, healthcare, and manufacturing, which require a strong pipeline of skilled workers. By supporting upperclassman students in STEM fields, this scholarship program aims to contribute to the development of a talented workforce that can meet the needs of Oregon's employers. According to the Oregon Employment Department, employment in STEM occupations is projected to grow 10% by 2028, outpacing overall job growth in the state.
The Oregon State University (OSU) system, which includes several institutions across the state, is a key partner in this effort. OSU's College of Science is a leading provider of STEM education in Oregon, and the scholarship program will help to support students pursuing degrees in high-demand fields such as computer science, engineering, and environmental science. By investing in the education of Oregon's future workforce, the Banking Institution's scholarship program is well-positioned to drive economic growth and development in the state.
Supporting Regional Development and Addressing Capacity Constraints
The scholarship program's target outcomes are also closely aligned with regional development priorities in Oregon. The state's rural areas, such as those in the Eastern Oregon region, face unique challenges in terms of economic development and access to educational opportunities. By supporting students from these regions, the scholarship program can help to address capacity constraints and promote more equitable access to STEM education. For example, the Oregon Community Foundation's Rural Opportunities Initiative provides funding and technical assistance to support economic development in rural Oregon, and the scholarship program can complement these efforts by investing in the education of local students.
Measuring Success and Evaluating Progress
To measure the success of the scholarship program, the Banking Institution will track key outcomes, including the number of students supported, graduation rates, and career outcomes. The program will also conduct regular evaluations to assess its impact and identify areas for improvement. By using data and evaluation findings to inform program design and implementation, the Banking Institution can ensure that the scholarship program is achieving its target outcomes and making a meaningful difference in the lives of Oregon students.
In terms of specific metrics, the program aims to support at least 50 students in the first year, with a goal of increasing the number of recipients to 100 students by the third year. The program also aims to achieve a graduation rate of at least 80% among scholarship recipients, compared to a statewide average of around 60% for STEM students. By tracking these metrics and using data to drive program improvement, the Banking Institution can ensure that the scholarship program is achieving its target outcomes and making a positive impact on Oregon's economy and communities.
