AISES will undertake a series of activities intended to encourage and support Native American students to undertake graduate study in science and engineering. These activities include a 2-hour workshop on "Why Graduate School" at their Spring Leadership Training Conference, a booth on the same subject to provide information to the students attending their national conference, and a graduate scholarship program. This program will provide AISES/NSF Graduate Scholars Challenge awards of $2,000 each to 10 students selected by the AISES Scholarship Committee. Each of the students will be assigned an AISES mentor who will provide guidance and encouragement. The drop-out rates of Native Americans are extremely high at all points along the educational pipeline and very few secure graduate degrees. This project, while modest in scale, will be highly visible in the Native American Communigy and will help to bring more students into the pipeline leading to careers in science and engineering.

AISES将开展一系列旨在鼓励和支持美国原住民学生攻读科学和工程研究生课程的活动。这些活动包括在他们的春季领导力培训会议上举办一个2小时的关于“为什么要读研”的研讨会，为参加全国会议的学生提供同一主题的信息，以及研究生奖学金计划。该项目将向由AISES奖学金委员会选出的10名学生提供2000美元的AISES/NSF研究生挑战奖。每个学生都将被分配一名AISES导师，他将提供指导和鼓励。印第安人的辍学率在教育管道的各个阶段都非常高，很少有人能获得研究生学位。这个项目虽然规模不大，但将在美国原住民社区引起高度关注，并将帮助更多的学生进入通往科学和工程职业的管道。
