这笔国家科学基金会的拨款旨在扩大NACME现有的信息计划，以接触到更多初中和高中水平的少数族裔学生的教师、辅导员和家长，并最终为学生本身提供更多和更好的信息。在赠款下制作的材料传达了这样的信息，即少数族裔学生可以在数学和科学领域找到有回报的、可获得的职业，可以提供财政援助来帮助学生为这种职业做准备，有兴趣在大学学习工程的学生有特定的学术先决条件，而且，有越来越多的项目网络，鼓励在代表性不足的少数民族学生中学习工程和相关技术领域。具体地说，这笔资金用于开发、生产和分发：“工程学，《你的21世纪钥匙》30,000本小册子，配有针对初中生、家长和教师的配套海报。《助学金解读：少数民族工程专业学生指南》3万册图书面向高三学生、教师、辅导员和家长。《工科学校学生指南》面向高中生、教师、辅导辅导员和家长的3万册图书。“MEPS/USA：大学预科和大学少数族裔工程项目目录”为指导顾问、教师、项目主任和该领域的其他参与者提供了5000个目录。

This National Science Foundation grant was designed to expand NACME's existing information program to reach more teachers, counselors and parents of minority students at the junior and senior high school levels and, ultimately, to provide more and better information to the students themselves. Materials produced under the grant to convey the message that minority students can find rewarding, attainable careers in mathematics and science-based fields, that financial aid is available to help students prepare for such careers, that there are specific academic prerequisites for students interested in studying engineering at the college-level, and that there is a growing network of programs to encourage the study of engineering and related technical fields among under represented minority students. Specifically, this funding was used to develop, produce and distribute: "Engineering, Your Key to the 21st Century" 30,000 brochures with companion posters targeting junior high school students, parents and teachers. "Financial Aid Unscrambled: A Guide for Minority Engineering Students" 30,000 books targeting high school seniors, teachers, guidance counselors and parents. "Students Guide to Engineering Schools" 30,000 books targeting high school students, teachers, guidance counselors and parents. "MEPs/USA: The Directory of Precollege and University Minority Engineering Programs" 5,000 directories for guidance counselors, teachers, program directors and other participants in the field.
