Description:
BOOST aims to create a pipeline that attracts, engages, supports, and retains underrepresented minority (URM) students in the sciences throughout their pre-collegiate education. We do this by exposing these students and their families to new people, places, and experiences that can open new worlds for them.
Our goals are to:
- Improve the science performance of URM students (particularly African Americans, Native Americans, and Latina/o Americans), female students, and students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds;
- Upgrade and expand the content of the pre-college science curriculum; and
- Increase the number of URM, female, and economically disadvantaged students prepared for professional education in STEM.
