The goal of the project is to increase the number of students with disabilities interested in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) classes with the hope that it will make their transition into the workforce a little easier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People with disabilities face many obstacles in the workforce.&nbsp;Less than 20 percent of people with disabilities have a job, with many working part-time only. <meta charset=\"utf-8\"\/>For other grants specifically for those with disabilities, log on to <a href=\"https:\/\/usa.grantwatch.com\/grant-search.php?search=advanced?keyword=disabilities\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GrantWatch<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Persons with disabilities are one of the most significantly underrepresented groups in STEM education and employment,&#8221; said <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/cws.auburn.edu\/apspi\/pm\/staff\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Overtoun Jenda<\/a>, assistant provost for special projects and initiatives at Auburn. &#8220;And they comprise a disproportionately smaller percentage of STEM degrees and jobs compared to their percentages in the U.S. population. This alliance is designed to help shrink that gap. Students will participate through stipends, internships conferences, and mentoring.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Jenda, this initiative splits into six different hubs. <meta charset=\"utf-8\"\/>Auburn will be both leading the initiative and be the center of the Southeastern Hub. Each of these hubs will be in a different part of the U.S. and include: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/nau.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer
