Event to support low income SAUSD STEM students set for May 11

The Achievement Institute of Scientific Studies (AISS) is hosting their 5th Annual Bridging the Gap celebration on Thursday, May 11 from 5:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. at the Highway 39 Event Center, located at 1563 South State College Blvd., in Anaheim. Come to support and celebrate 4.0 and above students as they get into the right university for their STEM program. Click here to buy your tickets, starting at only $5.99.

AISS was founded in 1997 to guide high potential, economically disadvantaged students through high school and into universities to pursue STEM fields. We believe bridging the gap between high school and college is one of the most important transitions for underprivileged students in America today. Since 2001, 100% of students who have passed through our program were accepted to a college or university.

AISS has many sponsors including the O.C. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, UCI and Edwards Lifesciences.
