Building STEPS Snapshot

FEBRUARY 2021
Kudos to our Seniors


All their hard work is paying off! It's only February and the college acceptances and financial aid awards continue to roll in. 94% of our seniors have submitted the FAFSA and 40% are on track for full college funding. We are confident there will be more full college funding and outstanding college acceptances. 
Special Delivery

Our amazing partners, the United States Naval Academy and Learning Undefeated, created hands-on STEM education kits for every student. Program Associate Asia delivered the science kits to our high school juniors in preparation for their upcoming STEM seminars.
