What is CSTEP?
The Collegiate Science and Technology Entry Program (CSTEP) is a national award-winning program sponsored by SUNY-ESF and New York State Department of Education. It is an enrichment program designed to foster students' academic success in preparing for professional licensure or careers in the scientific, technical or health-related fields.
CSTEP works to increase the number of historically underrepresented, economically disadvantaged college students that complete preprofessional or professional undergraduate and graduate programs in these fields.
Benefits of CSTEP Membership
Services provided to students are academic counseling, skills development, free tutoring, a faculty mentor, enrichment activities, internship/research opportunities, graduate school/career preparation, specialized workshops, and field trips. CSTEP provides opportunities for scholars to create and maintain resumes, research graduate school information, and attend educational and professional conferences.
Participant Requirements
Upon becoming a CSTEP scholar at SUNY-ESF, individuals must maintain a minimum 2.3 G.P.A; complete appropriate paperwork; meet with a counselor once per semester; attend at least two workshops, events or activities per semester; and attend all general meetings, and become a member of a professional scientific organization. Failure to meet minimum requirements may result in dismissal from the program.

- Are a New York State resident or a permanent resident alien residing in New York State;
