The number of Black students in science, engineering, and medicine
in the United States has remained disproportionately low over the
past several decades. A number of reasons have been identified as
contributing to these low numbers, including those related to
finances. Financial considerations range from the most immediate -
the ability of students to pay for their education and associated
costs - to more structural concerns, such as inequities that
created and have perpetuated a wealth gap between races and ethnic
groups. On April 19-20, 2021, the Roundtable on Black Men and Black
Women in Science, Engineering, and Medicine of the National
Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine organized a
virtual public workshop to examine financial barriers for Black
students in science, engineering, and medicine, explore existing
educational programs to them, and engage stakeholders in
conversations about partnerships and policies that span academia,
industry, and philanthropy. This publication summarizes the
presentation and discussion of the workshop. Table of Contents
