AI Summary
This bill, titled the "Accounting STEM Pursuit Act," aims to enhance the Student Support and Academic Enrichment Grant program by specifically including accounting as a vital component of a well-rounded STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education. The legislation proposes to amend the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to add accounting education, including career awareness in the field, as an eligible activity for grant funding. Furthermore, it seeks to support the development and implementation of programs that teach accounting, with a particular focus on increasing access to high-quality accounting courses for students in grades K-12 who belong to groups currently underrepresented in accounting professions, thereby promoting diversity and opportunity within the field.
