OACHE Rural STEMM Grant Announcement
Request for Proposal Released August 24, 2010 Proposals due September 7, 2010
Grant funding available for distressed county high schools With budget approval from the Governor’s Office of Appalachia and the Appalachian Regional Commission, the OACHE will have funds available to award several OACHE Rural STEMM grants for the 2010-11 academic year to high schools. The grants are funded 80% with a 20% in-kind and/or cash match needed from the participating schools (match cannot be federal funds). The award amount will range from $5000 to $8000 dollars for each successful application.
The OACHE Rural STEMM Project will target high schools currently serving students within the six ARC-designated Distressed Counties (Athens, Meigs, Monroe, Morgan, Pike, and Vinton). The OACHE project allows individual high schools within these six counties to apply for funding to implement a college-access program specifically addressing STEMM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math and Medical Related) areas.
Ohio STEM: Southeast Regional Conference
Ohio Governor Ted Strickland declared March 2010 as Ohio STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) Education Month and to celebrate hosted a statewide STEM conference in Columbus on March 2. Regional STEM conferences were scheduled to occur all across the state to continue the Governor’s charge to recognize STEM. The final Regional STEM Conference in Ohio was hosted in Portsmouth at Shawnee State University on May 21, 2010. Serving Ohio’s southeast region, the conference enjoyed attendance from over 150 participants representing education, business, civic and philanthropic sectors and served as a first step in the southeast STEM Initiative Planning Grant.
Co-hosted by Ohio Appalachian Center for Higher Education, South East Ohio Center for Excellence in Mathematics and Science, Foundation for Appalachian Ohio, and Shawnee State University with support from the State of Ohio, the Ohio STEM Learning Network and the National Governor’s Association, the conference was a unique opportunity for engaged and committed leaders from all sectors to gather in celebration of successful STEM efforts at work in the region and join in discussion to shape the vision of what a STEM Hub for southeastern Ohio will mean and how it can best equip our students with the 21st century skills necessary for success in a global workplace. With the exciting work of the planning grant ahead, the conference was a launching point for discussion between leaders from diverse, but related sectors, and emphasized the need for collaboration throughout the region to best serve our students and the region’s economy.
