in 2016 which was50 percentage points larger than for the lowest SES students (28 percent) [5]. Since a school and/orfamily obligation requires low-income students to work, they cannot engage well in school andafford engagement activities like football games. The underrepresentation of low-SES graduatesmeans that those graduates are missing out on the financial and professional benefits of jobopportunities available through STEM. This underrepresentation also impacts the overall numbersof STEM professionals in the U.S [6].
