Program Description

STEP equips low-income students with the knowledge, confidence, and leadership skills to successfully transition to college and attain a 4-year degree.

We work with Arizona high school students from low-income households who are internally motivated to take rigorous courses and do the hard work to excel. A majority of our students are the first generation in their family to seek a college degree.
