Advancing Opportunities for Women in STEM (AOWS), funded by the Department of Defense (DoD), was designed to prepare students for a career in a science, technology, engineering, or math (STEM) field. Program participants were part of a community of like-minded individuals who shared an interest in STEM. The grant for the program ended on Saturday, September 14. We encourage anyone interested in STEM as a career to apply for an associate in science degree.

According to AOWS Survey Results:

  • 87.5% of AOWS completers agreed that the program helped them persist as a student pursuing a career in STEM.
  • 86% of AOWS completers felt more confident in their research and analytical skills due to participation in the program.
  • 81% of AOWS completers agreed that the program helped them obtain hands-on experience through research, internships, and/or project-based activities.
  • 92% of AOWS completers have applied or plan to apply to a 4-year college or university.
