For Students

In order to increase the numbers of Indigenous North Americans seeking degrees and careers in STEM fields, students must be started on the STEM pathway early. One of the biggest challenges in reaching this goal is ensuring that students, educators, and parents have access to information and resources related to STEM. 

AISES administers many programs, services, and events for pre-college, undergraduate and graduate students designed to increase their access to college and support their success in in preparation for careers in STEM fields. Native college students need professional mentorship and peer support in addition to scholarship support. Students are most successful when they have a network of other Native students, as well as professionals who can provide ongoing support while they are pursuing undergraduate and graduate studies. AISES provides exactly this critically needed support through its programming.
