The Reality for Black Women in STEM

Black women represent one of the largest underserved markets and most significant disruptive forces in STEM. They constitute the fastest-growing female workforce population in the world.

Yet in the realm of Black women in STEM, the statistics are alarming:

• Almost 50% of Black women drop out of their STEM degree by sophomore year with financial hurdles being the #1 reason students stop-out or drop-out of college
• Black women hold less than 2% of STEM jobs globally, compared to 20% for their white counterparts.
• The projected widening wage gap in the tech industry, which could result in over $350 billion in lost wages for Black households by 2030, highlights the urgent need to address these disparities.

Key metrics on our fellows:

• 88% of fellows are low-income students
• 64% are first generation college students
• 14.6% of our fellows are refugees
