Quality Education for Minorities (QEM) Network, a non-profit organization, has been instrumental in improving the education of under-represented groups that have been historically undeserved by the nation's educational system. As an agent for change, QEM continues to develop effective strategies for STEM education for minorities, and focuses on issues and barriers that prevent minorities from receiving a high quality education. This project supports internship opportunities for students at the National Science Foundation as a mechanism to: increase students understanding of science policy; encourage potential for becoming leaders and proponents for increased STEM participation by students from low-income communities; and encourage interns to continue STEM interests and studies through the doctoral level. Complimentary to the internship experience at NSF, students are required to engage in a science-oriented community outreach activity during the following academic year at their respective institutions.

少数民族优质教育网络是一个非营利性组织，在改善代表不足的群体的教育方面发挥了重要作用，这些群体在历史上一直是国家教育系统不配得到的。作为变革的推动者，QEM继续为少数群体的STEM教育制定有效的战略，并重点关注阻碍少数群体接受高质量教育的问题和障碍。该项目支持为国家科学基金会的学生提供实习机会，以此作为一种机制：提高学生对科学政策的理解；鼓励有潜力成为低收入社区学生更多参与STEM的领导者和支持者；并鼓励实习生通过博士水平继续STEM兴趣和学习。作为在NSF实习经验的补充，学生们被要求在下一学年在各自的机构参加以科学为导向的社区推广活动。
