At the University of Washington Tacoma (UWT), a public, predominantly undergraduate, minority-serving institution (Asian-American, Native American, Pacific Islander, AANAPISI), the Achieving Change in our Communities for Equity and Student Success (ACCESS) in STEM (NSF S-STEM) Program supports low-income, STEM-interested students by providing focused mentoring, a living learning community, a course-based research experience in their first year, and scholarships in their first two years of college. Program participants achieve higher grades and earlier entry to STEM majors. These positive outcomes may be of particular interest to programs supporting STEM-interested students in their first two years, particularly at AANAPISI institutions.
