The Pre-College Initiative is a program within NSBE where collegiate and alumni members encourage students from grades K-12 to garner interest and develop skills in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The partnership of collegiate chapters with pre-college initiative students allows for individualized mentoring and tutoring, awareness into higher learning, guidance in competitions and design fairs, and a strengthened pipeline for information to be disseminated. The objective of the initiative is not only to encourage participation in the STEM fields and matriculation to college but to also help students realize and pursue their ambitions.
