H.R. 4515 · 113th Congress
GIRLS-STEM Act of 2014
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 113th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Getting into Researching, Learning, & Studying of STEM Act of 2014 or the GIRLS-STEM Act of 2014 - Amends the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to authorize the Secretary of Education to award grants to local educational agencies that serve underrepresented or low-income students to enable their elementary and secondary schools to establish and implement programs that:
- encourage the ongoing interest of female students in careers requiring science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) skills at all levels of the career pathway; and
- prepare female students to pursue the industry-recognized credentials needed to pursue a STEM career.
Requires the grants to be awarded in four-school-year increments.
Requires the grants to be used to:
- acquaint female students with, and prepare them to pursue, STEM careers;
- educate the parents of such students about the opportunities and advantages of STEM careers;
- provide female students with STEM tutoring, mentoring, after-school activities, and summer programs;
- expose female students to STEM role models, events, academic programs, or career and technical education programs;
