The Achievement Institute for STEM Scholars (AISS) is a non-profit organization based in Santa Ana, CA, dedicated to guiding high-achieving, economically disadvantaged high school students interested in pursuing careers in the STEM fields. Their mission is to break the cycle of poverty by providing these students with the skills, mindset, and support necessary to attend college and succeed in life. Through their intensive two-year program, AISS offers STEM career awareness, life soft skills training, educational business planning, parent education, and alumni support. Their goal is to maintain impressive high school graduation and college acceptance rates while doubling the number of scholars they serve, ultimately increasing the number of economically disadvantaged students who major and work in STEM fields.Generated from the website
