The Midwest Alliance in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) is continuing to grow in terms of providing opportunities such as mentoring and internship placement support by announcing a new year of its programs, resources, and events for students and alumni with disabilities.

This year we have adopted some changes to our programs, as well as taken on new initiatives designed to improve the services we offer and thus offer increased benefits to students. Here is a short snapshot of some of these changes and improvements.

What is the Midwest Alliance? A Regional Program with the Goal of Increasing Academic and Career Opportunities for Students and Alumni with Disabilities.

Check out our Internships, Mentoring Programs, and other Opportunities for Students and Alumni with Disabilities. The Midwest Alliance is currently recruiting high school students as well as any postsecondary level students or alumni with any type of disability to take part in our mentoring and internship programs. We have stipends available for in the amount of $200 for mentees and $300 for mentors for a 16 hour commitment.

We also help students and recent postsecondary alums find internships in businesses, research labs, camps, and summer programs, and provide $500-$1,000 in stipends. Our opportunities are offered to students at any postsecondary level (undergraduate, graduate, alumni) who have a degree in a variety of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) fields, or who are in the process of earning one.
