A brief description of notable policies or programs to make the institution accessible and affordable to low-income students:

ACES (Accessing Careers in Engineering and Science)- A program that includes both pre-college and undergraduate components. It builds upon and leverages the capabilities of a number of Stevens resources and constituencies—including faculty, students, alumni, academic and student life support services, pre-college programs, admissions and financial aid, and teacher/school counselor programs

Clark Scholars- The Clark Scholars program provides financial support and enhanced learning opportunities to exceptional undergraduate students who are underrepresented in the engineering field.

STEP (Stevens Technical Enrichment Programs) – A program that offers a welcoming and supportive environment for students from diverse backgrounds. Students receive free tutoring, counseling, leadership development programs, and community service experiences.

Bridge Summer Program – To help transition underrepresented students into Stevens, this 6-week summer program helps students adjust to the residential campus and establish relationships among peers and staff. The program also offers students a schedule of classes, workshops, special events, and social activities.

Faculty/FLI Mentorship program - FLI students engage and connect with faculty members 1-1 through a mentorship program.

NJ Funded ACES Initiative: Expanding the success of Stevens’ ACES program, this state-wide initiative supports underinvested high schools throughout NJ and NY to reach students who demonstrate an early aptitude for STEM and has been recognized statewide as a key contributor to the NJ workforce.

MIP (the Mathematics Immersion Program): a 3-week summer program wherein undergraduate recipients of a NJ Educational Opportunity Fund who enrolled within New Jersey, work with peers to gain experiences about mathematics and its role in the world.

Art Harper Saturday Academy: Since 2019, the Academy works with New Jersey high schools in under-resourced communities to identify talented students who are underrepresented in STEM fields and have interest in a STEM degree or career.
