Different states include different federal assistance programs in their criteria for identifying economically disadvantaged students (Blagg and Gutierrez 2021).2. We acknowledge the limitations of these categories to represent the range of regional and cultural identities comprising them, which may differ in their representation in STEM. See for example Bhatti (2021).3. Paired samples t-tests, all significant at p < .001.4.
