The 2022-2023 Unite sites are below. Unite is a four-to-six week, pre-collegiate, academic summer program for talented high school students from groups historically underserved in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics).
Please contact the site director at the university of your choice for the application process and the eligibility requirements.
Funded by the Army Educational Outreach Program (AEOP) and
administered by the Technology Student Association (TSA), Unite is designed to encourage and help prepare students to pursue college-level studies, and ultimately,
STEM Careers in fields such as engineering. See the 2018 and 2019 Unite albums. Scroll to the bottom of this webpage to view other press
releases; Unite in the Spotlight; AEOP Blogs on Unite; and AEOP Unite Alumni Profiles.
