About UNITE

UNITE is a four-to-six week, pre-collegiate summer program for talented high school students from groups historically underrepresented and underserved in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) areas.

Coordinated by the Technology Student Association (TSA) and funded by the US Army Educational Outreach Program (AEOP), the UNITE program encourages and helps prepare high school students to pursue a college education in engineering. UNITE provides academic and social support to participants so that they have the ability and confidence to become successful engineers. More information about the AEOP can be found at www.usaeop.com.
