Achievement Institute of Scientific Studies

Achievement Institute for STEM Scholars | STEM Education Program| Santa Ana

The Achievement Institute of Scientific Studies' (AISS) mission is to help economically disadvantaged high school students gain a university education in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).In 1998 Paul Riordan, after 30 years in education with the Santa Ana Unified School District, decided it was time to retire and pursue a lifelong vision, helping kids achieve a better tomorrow. His true passion came to fruition when he worked with school officials and business leaders to design a program allowing low income students an opportunity for higher education in STEM fields. In 2001 AISS was born. AISS concentrates this effort with students from six high schools in the Santa Ana Unified School District.AISS operates a comprehensive two year program over the course of the students' junior and senior years of high school. AISS offers 20 to 24 young economically disadvantaged scholars the competitive tools to gain entry into the most prestigious universities in the country where they will study science, technology, engineering and math academic paths. AISS' current and past scholars represent the top 10% academically in their schools. Most are from economically disadvantaged homes in Santa Ana and are the first in their families to attend universities. Historically the scholars have been overwhelmingly Hispanic (98%) and female (85%).AISS' program focuses on three major areas: STEM Career Awareness and College Readiness (SAT/ACT preparations, university and scholarship research, advance math tutoring/critical thinking and writing), Life Skills/Cultural Capital (leadership, time management, manners, presentations, business ethics, and networking).
