  • A personal Academic Coach to assist students with course selection, degree audits, career advising, financial aid assistance, networking opportunities, and four-year transfer assistance.

  • The potential for additional grant aid.

This program is completely free for students. As a federally funded program, we require income verification from you. Please complete this simple form so we can process your student's application.

Why do we need income verification documents?

As a federally funded TRIO program, STEM3S is required to provide the US Department of Education with specific documentation of household income level and educational background for enrollment into the STEM3S program.

The information is protected by the Family Rights and Privacy Act and will be held in strict confidence.  The information is used to determine if the student is eligible to participate in the STEM3S Program.
