Ford Motor Company demonstrates its commitment to introducing students to STEM with a new $250,000 donation to the Detroit Area Pre-College Engineering Program. The donation to DAPCEP will lead to the creation of a Future Forward program, which will help put 80 underrepresented students on a path to careers in the science, technology, engineering, and math fields.
The Future Forward program established by the donation will engage Detroit students in 11th and 12th grade. Students will have the chance to take part in courses, receive mentoring, and even take advantage of 10 open internship opportunities. The program also includes a pre-year-1 college program where students will continue to learn from DAPCEP and Ford mentors.
