STEM Advantage partners with the California State University (CSU), the largest and most ethnically diverse public university system in the nation. Board members leverage their contacts to help level the playing field for students attending a public university who have talent, but don’t have the opportunity and network of students attending a private university. STEM Advantage has been honored by the Los Angeles Business Journal as Nonprofit Team of the Year, Society for Information Management as Best STEM Nonprofit, and Women in Technology| Hollywood.
