'The American Heart Association (AHA) along with U.S. representative Andy Barr and Eastern Kentucky University President David McFaddin announced the launch of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) scholarships at EKU that will benefit female high school students in central and eastern Kentucky.

“Unfortunately a troubling gender gap exists in STEM from the lack of women pursuing degrees in STEM or STEM related degrees to the number of women in STEM careers,” Andres Ooten, AHA executive director said.'
