Portland-MESA
Portland-Mathemalics, Engineering,
Science Achievement (MESA) Program is
designed to increase the numbers of histori
cally underrepresented minorities in pro
fessions related to mathematics, engineer
ing and physical science. Because those
fields currently attract a particularly small
percentage o f African-Americans, Hispan
ics and American Indians, those students
are targeted in MESA, although the Port
land-MESA Program enrolls qualified
middle school and high school students
from all ethnic backgrounds.
Through MESA, participating students
receive educational enrichment experiences
and practical help needed to prepare for
university-level programs in a variety of
fields. Portland-MESA is a support pro
gram operating outside the classroom.
MESA began in California in 1970 and
presently more than 25,000 students are
enrolled in programs inCalifomia, Oregon,
Washington, New Mexico, Arizona, Colo
rado, Maryland and Utah. Portland-MESA
serves more than 400 students in 12 schools.
The program plans to expand to serve other
schools in the future.
