Description

IMSA is committed to equity and excellence, actively recruiting students from all areas of Illinois. IMSA’s PROMISE Program addresses the unique challenges of culturally, linguistically, and economically diverse (CLED) students interested in STEM education by providing academic enrichment programming at low to no cost. This grant-funded program is open to all students, especially Black or African American students, Latinx students, students who qualify for the national free or reduced-price meal program, and students from rural Illinois counties. Attending these sessions allows students to work with IMSA faculty, staff, and student mentors while exploring IMSA’s unique learning laboratory. The program also works with interested participants to prepare them for the IMSA Admissions Process. PROMISE programs are held on Aurora, Illinois’s Illinois Mathematics & Science Academy campus.

The PROMISE Program consists of three grade-based experiences. The Fall and/or Spring PROMISE Programs are held on Saturdays during the fall and/or spring semesters, and the Summer PROMISE Program is held in June. Each program has a separate application process.
