Rocky Mountain MESA
Rocky Mountain MESA (Mathematics, Engineering, Science Achievement) is a statewide/regional organization for K-14 students. Mines students serve as volunteer mentors who engage K-14 students in hands-on activities, collecting and analyzing data, sharing experiences in pursuing a STEM major, and exploring STEM majors. MESA students also have the opportunity to participate in a nationwide competition.

Colorado-Wyoming Alliance for Minority Participation
MEP at Colorado School of Mines provides support to students through the CO-WY AMP grant by:
- Funding undergraduate students to participate on research projects with graduate students and/or faculty.
- Funding undergraduate students to participate on research projects with NREL scientists.
The Colorado-Wyoming Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (CO-WY AMP) is an innovative consortium of fourteen community colleges and four-year institutions, and four Native American tribes in Colorado and the Four Corners region. CO-WY AMP is funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation, with Colorado State University as its headquarters.
Other goals of CO-WY AMP include increasing the quality of education and building the infrastructure for programs and activities that link public and private resources through structured funding and program development strategies.
