Welcome to AHETEMS

The NNSA Consortium Internship Program website went online in July 2010. The members of the Consortium are pleased to bring this interactive website to the community of Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM) students looking for hands on experience in their field.

Students who are members of SHPE, MAES or SACNAS have the opportunity to earn valuable experience, class credit and money all at the same time! The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) seeks highly qualified and motivated students in science and engineering to take part in its co-op program. The deadline to apply is June 15.

The AHETEMS Foundation extends its deepest condolences to the family of Mr. Jaime Escalante, who passed away earlier today, Tues. Mar. 30. Mr. Escalante was not only a celebrated agent of change but a quintessential man, who motivated our Hispanic youth to their academic best, and instilled a thirst for learning among those he touched, especially here in Dallas/Forth and Phoenix, AZ.

Profe, thank you for sharing your ganas so that we could rise above any challenge and be the resilient sons and daughters in a socio-educational stratified system riddled with persistent deep-rooted non-meritorious behaviors that seek to constantly impede and burden the Latino path to success.

Thank you for being who you were and sharing who you were with us. God Bless You!!

UPDATE: All students who submitted a complete and eligible scholarship application before the deadline have been notified via email of the AHETEMS scholarship decision. All selected scholars will also recieve a hard-copy in the mail.

If your contact information has changed, please email: ahetems@shpe.org or call 817-272-1116.
