The Native American Science & Engineering Program (NASEP), at the University of Arizona, is a free year long program designed to provide Native American High School Juniors and Seniors with a vision of a career in a Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) fields; connects students with academic professionals and industry representatives from STEM related interests; and catalyze the student’s motivation to complete chemistry, physics, and pre-calculus before graduation high school.

Through one on one college preparation coaching with university affiliates, students learn how to effectively prepare for the college admissions process and are exposed to different STEM career paths. The introduction to the year-long program begins in the sum, with interactions continuing throughout the year via email, phone call, text message, mail, and social media that can be accessed through their awarded technology device.

This year they canceled their NASEP Closing Banquet in which they normally recognize their cohort for their accomplishments and the continuation of their educational goals.

They will begin recognizing their students virtually by honoring them on social media, instargram, Facebook, and Twitter and on their website nasep.arizona.edu.
