Science and Technology Entry Program

The RIT Science and Technology Entry Program, or STEP, is a state-funded grant program that provides academic enrichment to students in grades 9 -12. Through activities such as hands-on workshops, tutoring, mentoring, college & career exploration, field trips, summer camps, and leadership training, STEP prepares students for careers in science, technology, math, health-related fields, and licensed professions.

Currently, the RIT STEP program serves selected schools within the Rochester City School District and Rush-Henrietta School District.
