Accounting STEM Pursuit Act of 2025

The "Accounting STEM Pursuit Act of 2025" proposes to modify the existing Student Support and Academic Enrichment Grant program, established under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965. Its primary goal is to integrate accounting education and career awareness into the framework of a well-rounded STEM educational experience for students. Specifically, the bill amends provisions related to the allowable uses of grant funds. It permits these federal grants to support activities that promote the development and strengthening of K-12 accounting programs. A key focus is on increasing access to high-quality accounting courses for students through grade 12, particularly those from groups currently underrepresented in accounting careers .
