My bsu edu risk training6/30/2023 ![]() Studies show that racial/ethnic disparities in educational achievement and attainment are partially explained by the effects of race-based stressors, such as stereotype threat and perceived discrimination, on psychological and biological responses to stress, which, in turn, impact cognitive functioning and academic performance. According to the 2017 YWCA Missoula Racial Equity Report, “the lack of diversity in Montana and little support for people of color has an impact on their experience.” The report goes on to say, that “disparities in education, whether in the lack of school supplies, text books, program funding, or suspensions, have correlated with poverty, less economic mobility, and a lower likelihood of obtaining an advanced degree.” MTREP’s VISTA project will help minority students across the state of Montana gain support and resources necessary to maintain school attendance, obtain their high school diplomas and go onto higher education.
