Importance of STEP in our Current Economy
Most STEP alumni live in New York State and work in high-paying STEM, health, and licensed fields that contribute to our tax base. STEM and licensed professionals are vital in meeting the needs of the 21st-century economy and job market in our state and nation. STEM fields are vital to the continued economic recovery of our state and nation.
To be eligible for STEP, students must be:
- New York State residents
- Enrolled in grades 7-12
- Economically disadvantaged and/or
- In need of, or would greatly benefit from, academic enrichment or support in the STEM areas (to be determined locally)
Economically Disadvantaged:
- For the purpose of STEP, a student is economically disadvantaged if he or she meets the income eligibility criteria (2021-26 STEP Income Eligibility Criteria). The eligibility standards set forth apply only at the time of admission as a first-time student to a STEP program. Once admitted, a student may continue to receive supportive services as needed, even if the family income rises above the current eligibility standards.
