Mission Statement
Our nation becomes more and more reliant to foreign-born talent in STEM. The gap continues to widen disproportionately for underrepresented groups. Our mission is to close the STEM gap through early exposure and equitable access to research in diverse groups under the guidance of college professors. ​

Research Scholarships

 We are able to provide research scholarships  to eligible students. 
Throughout the year, we apply for grants and organize fundraising activities so that we can provide our research internships at no cost to students and financially support those eligible for research scholarships. Each grant has different requirements (such as low-income or disabled students) and may be specific to certain research projects.​

• Minorities, women, disabled, deaf/HoH and low-income students among others are encouraged to apply.
