Title IX improved females' access to educational opportunities. Females account for 58% of enrolled college students (2015-2016) and 3.4 million high school student-athletes in 2018 (The National Federation of State High School Associations, 2019). Yet, females face discrimination in sports, education, and the workforce. Females are underrepresented in athletics (44% of High School student-athletes) and STEM (18% of STEM majors; National Science Board, 2018). It estimated it will take females 217 years to close the global STEM profession gender gap (World Economic Forum, 2017), exacerbating the global economic gender parity gap. Studies find female underrepresentation in STEM to be correlated with low self-efficacy in STEM courses and with limited abetment (Franklin, 2013; Grossman & Porche, 2014; Shoffner, Newsome, Barrio Minton, & Wacher Morris, 2015). Given the prospective global impact of females in STEM, this study explores potential associations between female athletic participation and STEM academic outcomes.Using the Educational Longitudinal Study (ELS, 2002), the researcher performed multiple imputations for missing observations, school fixed effects and propensity score matching to address self-selection bias, and linear regression with robust cluster-adjusted standard errors and linear probability to examine the relationship between female sports participation and STEM academic outcomes. Study results indicate that while no unique association between female high school sports participation and math and STEM outcomes exists, female student-athletes were found to achieve higher academic outcomes, which supports several studies (B. Stevenson, 2010; Troutman & Dufur, 2007; Zeiser, 2011). The researcher found female student-athletes earn higher grades, are more selective in their college choice, are more likely to attend a 4-year college and take more college STEM classes, and are more like to earn a bachelor's degree.Findings from this study reinforce the critical impact of policies such as Title IX on addressing gender inequities. Furthermore, this study's findings provide the United Nations with compelling data to increase female access to sports participation in support of its 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. Additionally, this study's findings indicate the need for global policy makers and educators to recognize the positive association of female sports participation with cultivating leaders and stimulating economic growth.
