Reimagining Access to STEM Education

At Sacramento State, we believe that a quality STEM education should be accessible to everyone. STEM careers have the power to open doors for students, their families, and entire communities. The College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics (NSM) at Sac State is dedicated to expanding access to STEM for students of all ages and backgrounds. We’re working to make a difference for our students, who represent the diversity and strength of our community, and who are ready to bring their unique voices to science, technology, and math.

Our students bring drive, curiosity, and resilience to their studies. 1 out of 4 NSM students is the first in their family to attend college, and 2 out of 5 are from underrepresented backgrounds. More than half of our students are women, ready to pave the way in traditionally male-dominated fields. Your generosity directly supports their ambitions, providing essential resources like research opportunities, conference experiences, up-to-date labs, and hands-on workshops. By investing in NSM, you’re helping students gain the skills and experiences they need to make an impact on their chosen fields and the wider world.

With your support, we can continue to empower the next generation of scientists and innovators. Please consider making a gift to Sacramento State’s College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics. Every donation strengthens our community and brings us closer to a future where everyone has the chance to succeed in STEM. 

Thank you for making this possible.
