STEP Pre-College Program
The Science and Technology Entry Program (STEP)
The Science and Technology Entry Program (STEP) at New York University (NYU) is a state-funded innovative pre-college enrichment program for talented and motivated African American, Hispanic/Latino, Alaskan Native or American Indian and economically disadvantaged White or Asian middle and high school students. Our goal is to:
- prepare our students to be competitive so that they are accepted into a selective college of their choice
- encourage and increase the number of historically under-represented minority groups in the science, technology, engineering, math (STEM) careers, health-related fields and licensed professions.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, NYU has in place ongoing public health measures and requirements to ensure the safety of all University community members. As enrolled students in a summer program, all STEP students coming to campus in person must adhere to University guidelines and policies. The most up-to-date information about COVID-19 protocols on campus can be found on NYU Returns website. Students will also receive COVID-19-related information via NYU email and at our program orientation.
