Past Scholars

Participants in the S-STEM program (formerly known as CSEMS) after graduation have had a great deal of success in attending graduate school or being employed within their major field of study. The program itself has a 100% retention and graduation rate - all scholars who enter the program stay in the program and all have graduated. Over 95% of those students have found employment within their field or began graduate school, higher than the school's overall average.
