Programs for secondary students vary from course based experiences to independentstudy similar to what is available to a college student. These early college experiences providestudents the opportunity to develop skills essential to future college and career success. The YSPprogram provides participants with a free, challenging research experience complemented andsupported by additional program elements generally not introduced until the first year of college.Guided by exemplary practices (4) to increase student retention, these complementary experiencesfall into one of the following categories:Academic

the contrary, Charette (2013) suggested that there are more STEM workers than suitable jobsand many STEM graduates work for non-STEM related jobs. Whether one thinks there is a STEMshortage or surplus, an important factor that hinders any STEM graduate from securing a STEMjob is their inadequate level of academic preparation for college. This preparation begins in gradesK-12.STEM integration in K-12 has been on the rise since the idea was introduced almost a decade ago(Nathan & Pearson, 2014). Zuger (2015) noted the most commonly reported challenges that theK-12 schools are facing to implement STEM programs are funding (48.4%), inadequate K-8education (46.5%), insufficient teacher PD (46.4%), unclear best practices for STEM education(35.3
