Deadlines: Intent to Submit due January 6, 2023, by 5:00 pm; Full Proposal due January 27, 2023, by 11:59 pm

Amount: The program does not provide grant funding, but rather a full-time position. Awarded campus programs/departments receive a VISTA position for one year. Please see below for more details. 

The CSU will be hosting an optional VISTA Program Overview Webinar on Thursday, December 15th from 11:00am-12:30 pm. The webinar will provide an overview of the CSU STEM VISTA program and the application process. Attending the webinar is not required to apply.

ABOUT: To bolster the goals of Graduation Initiative 2025, the CSU STEM VISTA program focuses on eliminating race, class and gender disparities in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) undergraduate degree programs as well as supporting PK-12 students in access to highly qualified, well-prepared, and diverse STEM teachers.

The program is unique in that it does not provide grant funding, but rather a full-time position. Awarded campus programs/departments receive a VISTA position for one year. The full-time VISTA member will help campus programs develop long-term sustainability by focusing on building the capacity of student success efforts within STEM degree and credentialing programs, including leveraging resources, expanding scale and reach, and enhancing program efficiency and effectiveness.

For the 2023-24 program year, CSU STEM VISTA is seeking proposals that expand integrative learning strategies as well as campus, organizational and school partnerships that are focused on eliminating race, class and gender disparities in STEM undergraduate degree programs and STEM teacher credential programs.
