| The
Science and Technology Entry Program (STEP)
The Science and Technology Entry Program (STEP) increases
the number of historically underrepresented and *economically
disadvantaged students pursuing careers leading to professional
licensure or professions in mathematics, science, technology
and health-related fields.
STEP Programs provides students with academic enrichment
and research experience in science, mathematics and technology
content areas. Programs consist of summer and academic year
components including:
- Core subject instruction/Regents exam preparation
- Supervised training in research methods
- Internships
- High School and College admissions counseling
- Standardized test preparation
- Career awareness/development activities
There are sixty (60) STEP Programs housed at institutions
of higher education and/or professional schools across New
York State. Admission to a STEP program is competitive and
requires students to participate in an application process.
Please refer to the listing of regional programs by town/county
(on the left) to locate a program near you.
*Economic eligibility guidelines are determined by the state
of New York. Students who are not underrepresented (e.g.,
Black/African American, Hispanic/Latino, Alaskan Native, or
American Indian) must meet these income guidelines. Please
