ASU MESA (Mathematics, Engineering, and Science Achievement) is a local and national program connected to Arizona MESA and to MESA USA. Arizona MESA is a collaborative effort of Arizona’s universities, local school districts, industry, governmental agencies and community based organizations.
     Programs and services are implemented in Arizona primary and secondary schools through MESA’s statewide office and through the regional centers located at ASU and UA. The MESA Mission is to increase the number of students who matriculate and graduate from university with degrees in the math and sciences among historically under-represented minority and low-income students. ASU MESA serves over 30 schools in Central Arizona and as far Northeast as the Navajo Indian and San Carlos Apache Reservations.

      Mesa's goal is to reach as many eligible students in Phoenix and other Arizona communities as possible to increase the number of underrepresented groups entering professions related to mathematics, engineering and the physical sciences. Since such fields have attracted a particularly small percentage of African Americans, Hispanic, and Native Americans, the emphasis of MESA is to provide intervention programs that begin as early as elementary school which will encourage academic achievement. MESA is supported strongly by industry: A.G. Communication Systems, ADOT, ASCE, Pinnacle West, Arizona Public Service, Boeing, USDOT Federal Highway Administration, Honeywell, Raytheon Systems, Intel, Medtronic, Motorola, Society of American Military Engineers (SAME), SRP, and TRW Safety Systems.
