STEM Advantage was founded in 2012 to mentor, prepare and inspire women and underserved communities to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) through paid internships, mentorships and scholarships. This 360-degree program is designed to open doors and support students who have talent, but don't have the same opportunity and network of students attending a private or elite public university. We partner with students attending the California State University (CSU) system, the largest and most ethnically diverse university system in the nation.
