NM MESA is a pre-college program that prepares students for college majors and careers in mathematics, engineering, science or technically related fields. The MESA program is coordinated through seven regional offices, each staffed by a Regional Coordinator. These regional offices are located in Albuquerque (2), Espanola, Las Vegas, Gallup, Las Cruces and Roswell. Map of the MESA Regions.
MESA supports student programs in mid-high and high schools throughout the state. Each school program is administered by a teacher (typically a math or science teacher) from the school who receives a stipend for this work from their school district. Through these programs, MESA students participate in a variety of enriched math, science and engineering activities including field trips, speakers, workshops, regional and state-wide academic competitions, community service and leadership development projects. NM MESA provides funding and logistical support for these and other activities.
NM MESA also offers a "Senior Incentive Award" scholarship to graduating high school seniors who enroll in college the fall they graduate from high school. This award, which can go as high as $1000.00 per student, is based on the students' MESA participation during high school, academic grades and standardized test scores.www.nmmesa.org
