<p>Here is a link to other science related programs. Since my second child is a science lover my focus will now be on that since DS left for college last week.</p>
<p>[Introduction</a> to the NASA MUST Project](<a href=“hispanicfund.org”>hispanicfund.org) I think it includes a college scholarship and you study at NASA facility</p>
<p>[Interamerican</a> College of Physicians and Surgeons, Inc.](<a href=“http://www.icps.org/Default.aspx?tabid=2078]Interamerican”>http://www.icps.org/Default.aspx?tabid=2078) National HispanicYouth Initiative for Science Program Free program in DC </p>
<p>[STEP</a> UP](<a href=“STEP-UP Home Page”>STEP-UP Home Page) </p>

<p>[Program[/url</a>]</p>
<p>[url=<a href=“www.doorsofopportunity.org”>http://www.doorsofopportunity.org/]Summer</a> Opportunities for ALANA* Undergraduate Students](<a href=“http://www.ledascholars.org/index.php/program]Program[/url”>http://www.ledascholars.org/index.php/program)</p>
<p>[Welcome</a> to AHETEMS](<a href=“http://www.ahetems.org/]Welcome”>http://www.ahetems.org/)</p>
<p>Another thing to think of is that our city has a great program through the local science alliance and the association of women in science. I don’t have info for other cities but if your child is a potential venture scholar do the research to find out what else is out there. Under the local program my daughter was selected in 8th grade and the program will follow her for her 4 years of high school. The program offers 7 monthly workshops on various subjects and summer internships at local companies and universities in the science field. They also beginning soph year offer a college application and college essay writing workshop for her each year. The cost of this program is nothing and just part of the STEM effort so I highly encourage everyone to see if there is anything similar in your community. At the end of the program the girls are eligible for scholarships to college. </p>
<p>Here is one such program in Illinois. [Girls</a> Engaged in Math and Science (GEMS) - About](<a href=“http://gems.ncsa.illinois.edu/index.php/gems-program/about]Girls”>http://gems.ncsa.illinois.edu/index.php/gems-program/about)</p>
<p>Here is one in California [BE</a> WiSE — San Diego Science Alliance](<a href=“http://sdsa.org/programs/be-wise/programs/be-wise/be%20wise]BE”>http://sdsa.org/programs/be-wise/programs/be-wise/be%20wise) </p>
<p>Although this post is directly related to the Ventures program I just wanted to show what other science opportunites are out there for Latino students.
Good Luck</p>
