Ohio's STEM Ability Alliance (OSAA) has been established to increase the number of students with disabilities who earn degrees in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).  Funded by a National Science Foundation grant awarded to an alliance of Ohio institutions led by Wright State University, OSAA is made up of cooperating regional “QUADS.” Each includes a major university, a community college, regional public schools and STEM industry and government partners, who work together to address OSAA goals. 

The Columbus QUAD is based at The Ohio State University and includes Columbus State Community College, regional high schools including Metro High School and the Ohio State School for the Blind, and business partners including Battelle, Nationwide, American Electric Power and IDEAL Group.

OSAA Objective

OSAA will implement interventions and supports to increase the number and quality of Ohio students with disabilities receiving associates and baccalaureate degrees in STEM.
