MESA Schools Program @ SJSU

Featured Education Grantee

The MESA program serves over 1,000 6th-12th grade students in some of the highest need areas within San Jose, specifically within the East Side, Alum Rock, Morgan Hill and San Jose School Districts annually. Over half of them are Latino, low-income and first-generation college bound students. MESA programs include STEM teacher training; academic support through hands-on applications and guidance that improves performance in math and science. Also, MESA assists students with college and career exploration workshops and site visits to expose students to college and STEM careers; and coaching and preparation to help students enroll in a science or math-related major at a four-year university.
