ACES Programs
For High School Students Ready to be Big Thinkers
Stevens works side by side with partnering schools and dedicated staff to identify high school students who are curious and capable of excellence in STEM. Then we collaborate to design and deliver unrivaled support and resources that unleash student potential. The world is waiting for them, which is why we aim to be the bridge to achievement.
For Enrolled Students Preparing for Excellence
ACES Pre-College graduates as well as qualifying first-year undergraduates who enroll at Stevens move as a cohort to the ACES College Scholars Program, which is part of Stevens Technical Enrichment Program (STEP). Academic, financial, personal, professional and social support are provided at no-cost so that nothing holds students back from success in STEM.
ACES By The Numbers
ACES Success Stories
Many of our high school students cannot fully envision the rigor and expectations of a college education. However, through their involvement in Stevens ACES, they have been exposed to a range of opportunities that help bridge this gap, ensuring they are better prepared by the time they reach their senior year.

ACES promotes enrichment in pursuing your goals at Stevens. As an ACES scholar myself, I have had the pleasure of being part of Stevens Technical Enrichment Program (STEP) and have access to research internships on campus. These opportunities allow me to explore the fascinating possibilities within my major and give me confidence for my future ambitions.

Stevens ACES took my understanding of STEM to another level! Through the Stevens’ Summer Pre-College Programs biomedical engineering course and the project design classes of the Art Harper Saturday Academy program, I have a better understanding of engineering and math. I highly recommend this program for anyone who wants to get out of their comfort zone and grow both academically and socially.
