STEM isn’t always welcoming to diversity. A California college program aims to curb that

A California college program seeks to address the underrepresentation of minority groups in STEM fields by offering mentors, relationship-building opportunities, and financial aid to students. This initiative aims to create a more inclusive environment, recognizing that STEM education often lacks diversity. By fostering a supportive network and easing financial burdens, the program hopes to encourage underrepresented students to pursue and succeed in STEM PhD programs, which is crucial for diversifying the future workforce in these critical fields.
