Bill Summary
This bill makes a Fiscal Year 2023 supplemental appropriation of $500,000 from the State General Fund to the Nurture thru Nature (NtN) program at Rutgers University, New Brunswick. The NtN program was founded by Rutgers faculty in 2009 to provide STEM educational opportunities and hands-on learning opportunities to students in grades three through 12. The program addresses unique challenges facing students in nearby inner-city school districts, including under-representation in STEM fields, insufficient preparation for STEM careers, and summer learning loss. The program has demonstrated significant benefits in increasing science and mathematics grades, increasing interest in STEM disciplines, increasing the rate of pursuit of higher education in STEM fields, and developing non-cognitive skills including problem solving, pro-social behavior, and leadership skills.
