Coalition Urges Congress to Increase STEM Investments in FY25

On Friday, May 3, the STEM Education sent a letter to Congressional leaders detailing FY25 appropriations priorities to increase federal investments in STEM education programs.

Per the letter, “The CHIPS and Science Act of 2022 authorized many programs that could allow for vital teacher training and collaboration with the scientific workforce, improved STEM education in afterschool programs, and a dedicated focus to diversify STEM fields. The legislation signaled a call to ramp-up the nation’s investments in STEM education and workforce development programs, and to date, Congress has not fulfilled those obligations. As attention now turns to the FY2025 appropriations process, we ask that the Committee reject any further cuts and increase funding for long-standing STEM education and workforce priorities.”
