Established in August 2003 as an independent 501(c)(3), the Advancing Hispanic Excellence in
Technology, Engineering, Math and Science (AHETEMS) Foundation.(pronounced a-teams), in
partnership with SHPE and other orgnizations, has been working exclusively to develop
educational enrichment and academic outreach initiatives, for Latinos/as, that extend throughout
the pre-college to PhD pathway.
Funding for AHETEMS initiatives is derived from various federal, state, local and private grants
and private tax-deductible donations.
The AHETEMS Foundation is responsible for informing the public about technical careers,
internships and educational opportunities; maintaining educational centers; and promoting the
interest of students and professionals in educational and charitable pursuits.
The AHETEMS Foundation has acquired a broad-based consistency for educational enrichment,
recruitment and retention programs throughout the country, but each university’s activities are
unique and are supported by local SHPE chapters. The AHETEMS educational programs are
organized into three areas:
