The Scholars in Science: Native American Path is a program run by the Society for the Advancement of Chicanos/Hispanics and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS). According to the organization, which is dedicated to fostering success in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), Native American students that take part in the program gain from year-round mentorship, workshops, and support networks.
The Scholars in Science: Native American Path (SSNAP) partners with the American Indian Higher Education Consortium, American Indian Science & Engineering Society, Indian Health Service, and Native American Research Centers for Health.
Last fall, SACNAS announced that 98 graduate and undergraduate students received awards for their research and presentation skills at the 2021 SACNAS National Diversity in STEM (NDiSTEM) Digital Conference. Out of 870 total presenters, over 700 were first-time presenters and over 400 are first-generation college students.
“The Student Presentation Awards recognize the next generation of scientists and STEM leaders from historically-excluded populations while giving visibility to their research and home institutions. The awards also encourage students to continue pursuing the STEM fields,” said SACNAS President Dr. Pamela Padilla.
