AISES

The American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES) is a national nonprofit organization founded in 1977 that aims to promote the academic and professional success of American Indian and Alaska Native students in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). AISES provides a supportive community and resources to help these students achieve their educational and career goals. The organization also focuses on increasing the representation of Indigenous peoples in STEM fields and fostering a sense of cultural identity and pride among its members.

AISES has grown significantly since its inception, establishing a network of chapters at colleges and universities across the United States and Canada. The organization hosts various events, including an annual national conference, workshops, and career fairs, to connect students with professionals and opportunities in STEM. AISES also offers scholarships, internships, and mentorship programs to further support its members in their academic and professional journeys.
