The Proa Pathway Partnership is a federally-funded program under a five-year, Part A cooperative grant from the U.S. Department of Education’s Asian American Native American Pacific Islanders Serving Institutions program.
This program will help Asian American and Pacific Islander students successfully graduate from college and enter into meaningful careers by providing services that will help them identify career paths in STEM, receive mentorship and guidance, and gain research experience that aligns with their educational and career goals in preparation for their transition into Portland State University.
This program allows chosen students to complete their STEM-related bachelor's degree at Portland State University after receiving an associate's degree at the Northen Marianas College.
