Students as leaders in Engineering & Science: Programs are designed to provide students with valuable leadership skills and experiential learning in the field of science. In addition, the program also provides help locating internships and/or applying for summer research programs.

Tutoring and Mentoring programs, along with study skills workshops, career exploration workshops, library orientation, field trips to SMET-related facilities, and numerous other programs were conducted on each campus. Academic Excellence Workshops and Freshmen Orientations also take place at several of the participating institutions.

Faculty Diversity Workshops are held on CO-AMP campuses, focusing on issues of cultural sensivity, increasing awareness and understanding as to how best to serve the needs of CO-AMP students, and how to enhance the classroom learning experience through research, mentoring, and other activities.

Direct Support (including Scholarships and Stipends) ranging from $55 to $4,000 are awarded to CO-AMP students each academic year, and are based on academic excellence and other selected criteria.  These scholarships and stipends assist students in meeting their financial and academic responsibilities.

Undergraduate Research continues to be an opportunity that CO-AMP students take advantage of. Research has taken place from partner campuses across the state to the Eastern U.S., and even to exotic locations such as the beaches of Puerto Pinasco. CO-AMP students have attended and presented research at various research conferences such as the Colorado State University Summer Research Symposium, Society for the Advancement of Chicano and Native American Scientists (SACNAS), and the American Indian Science & Engineering Society (AISES) national conference.

Bridge Programs targeting entering freshmen are conducted at partner institutions.  These programs featured college survival skills and motivational elements, as well as academic courses such as pre-calculus, physics, chemistry, and engineering principles. 

Site Visits to each of the participating institutions and tribes affords the CO-AMP staff the opportunity to meet with students, faculty, and administration, and to discuss individual programs and activities.

Professional Society Organizations at partner institutions include CO-AMP students as members. Organizations such as the Mexican American Engineers & Scientists (MAES), American Indian Science & Engineering Society (AISES), Society of Women Engineers (SWE), Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE), Society of Black Engineers & Scientists (SBES) provide students the tools needed to excel academically, succeed professionally and positively impact the community.

Organization Development Governing Board Meetings are held to work towards institutionalizing CO-AMP programs and activities, as well as collaborating with the Colorado Commission on Higher Education (CCHE).  The Steering Committee, comprised of Site Coordinators, Management Team, and industry, government, tribal, other NSF programs, and professional societies also meet twice a year.

Outreach remains a very important component to the success of AMP programs. Although AMP funding cannot directly support outreach activities, CO-AMP students, partner institution's faculty and staff continue to reach out in activities such as the the RM-MSMSP Middle and High school, 2 week, residential summer camps at Colorado State University, the Summer Institute at Metropolitan State College of Denver, Fort Lewis College Summer Science Camp, Fort Lewis College AISES High School Conference, Colorado State University's El Centro Math, Science, and Technology Day, tours of Colorado State University's Engineering Dept. by TRIO Talent Search participants, and many more.
