Student Opportunities

Nurturing student potential through programs that connect, recognize, and inspire.

At NESA, our commitment to student learning extends beyond the classroom. Through select regional initiatives, we support holistic student development – recognizing character, encouraging curiosity, and celebrating student voice and agency across the NESA region.

You'll find a range of student opportunities here: from awards and scholarships, including the NESA Haas/Hansen Student Award for middle school students and the AAIE Margaret Sanders Undergraduate Scholarship for high school students, to the NESA Virtual Science & Engineering Fair for Grades 5-8 students. These programs reflect our belief that learning is shaped by collaboration, inquiry, and meaningful engagement.

 
 

Being recognized with the Haas/Hansen Award has strengthened my commitment to service and to using the opportunities I receive to uplift others in my community and beyond.
