The Midwest Alliance supports students and alumni in traditional science and engineering fields and in the social sciences. We take direction from the National Science Foundation as to what is considered an eligible field. If you are unsure as to whether your interest or degree meets our eligibility requirements, we encourage you to contact us.

Important note: Mentees in our program do not need choose a specific field to take part in our program, but they must have some interest in at least one of the approved fields. Mentors must either be pursuing one of these degrees in a certificate, associate, baccalaureate or graduate program or have received a degree or certificate in one of these fields to take part in our program. All internship placements must be in an approved field area.
