From October 1 – December 2, we’re rallying our community to raise $50,000 to unlock 100 dreams.
These dreams come from every corner of AISS—our scholars, staff, ambassadors,
alumni, and board members. Each one reflects hope, resilience, and the belief that
education and opportunity can change lives.
Every $500 raised reveals another dream—whether it’s a scholar striving toward a
STEM career, an alum paying it forward, or a mentor imagining what’s possible for the next generation.
Empowering Tomorrow's STEM Leaders🚀
Our Mission is to guide high-achieving, economically disadvantaged high school students interested in pursuing a career in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) fields. Our goal is to break the cycle of poverty.

$1000 Laptop💻
A donation of $1000 equips a scholar with a high-performance laptop, powerful enough to handle advanced STEM coursework, research, and innovation.
$500 STEM Kit🔬
A donation of $500 would give the scholars access to advanced tools and resources to dive deeply into STEM learning and hand-on projects.
$150 Transportation🚌
Donations directly fund the transportation costs for our study trips where scholars get exposure to professionals across many industries.
$100 Workshop Seat🧑🏫
Each $100 is contributed towards the professional and soft-skills workshops that prepare the scholars to be successful after college and beyond.
$250 Stipend💵
Your donation directly funds the stipend that the scholars receive throughout their time at the program. This stipend directly supports their college applications.
$50 STEM Materials🧪
Every $50 provides STEM materials for labs and projects that the scholars complete through the duration of the program.
