About Us

The Achievement Institute for STEM Scholars (AISS) empowers high achieving, economically disadvantaged high school students to pursue careers in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math). Our goal is to break the cycle of poverty by equipping students with resources, opportunities, and life skills that lead to success in STEM fields.

Through a two-year college to career readiness STEM program (junior and senior years of high school), we bridge the gap between high school and college by teaching Cultural Capital & Life Skills, College Readiness, and STEM Career Awareness. Our scholars engage in hands-on STEM projects, hear from guest speakers, visit college campuses and STEM facilities, and develop the confidence to thrive in higher education and beyond.
