NM PREP Middle School Academy and NM PREP High School Academy are summer STEM programs held on the campus of New Mexico State University. The Academies have been designed to spark student interest in STEM, specifically in engineering, while engaging students in leadership, team-building, and hands-on activities that simulate real-world engineering experiences. Participating students gain insight into life on a university campus, gain self-confidence and self-identity in studying and working on STEM projects, and have the opportunity to interact with other students from across the state, as well as current NMSU undergraduate students and engineering faculty.
2023 Application will open by March 1, 2023.
The application process for the NM PREP Programs begins with a simple form that includes information on the student and parents/guardians. After we receive the form, a member of our staff will contact those listed on the form to complete the remainder of the application process within 5 business days. The application for the Academy and Intro programs includes submitting a Letter of Intent and two teacher recommendations.
Space is limited and participants will be selected based on a review of submitted applications. Acceptance notifications will be made no later than April 25 for High School programs and May 16 for Middle School programs.
