Miramar MESA Program
S6-112i
MESA is a statewide award-winning program that supports students from underserved and underrepresented communities to excel in STEM fields. By joining a cohort of peers with similar aspirations, students build a strong community of encouragement and mentorship, fostering their academic and personal growth.
Why should you join the MESA community?
MESA special events, including events only open to MESA students!
We partner with other MESA programs, including SDSU, to offer access to workshops, career panels, and other events.
Calculator, goggles/labcoats, and other school supply loans.
Forgot your calculator? No problem! We loan school supplies by the day or the semester.
MESA Counselor
We have a dedicated counselor on staff to answer your academic advising questions.
Scholarship, Internship, and Research Opportunities
Both the MESA counselor and MESA director are here to help guide you through the process of searching and applying for scholarships, internships, and paid REUs (Research Experiences for Undergrads).
