Aristocrat Gaming Invests in Indigenous STEM Futures Through AISES Partnership

A gambling corporation has given a sizable contribution to a group focused on boosting Indigenous American participation in scientific and technological disciplines. This organization, known as the American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES), assists Indigenous learners and experts in STEM fields by providing financial aid, apprenticeships, and other avenues for professional growth. The corporation providing this financial backing trusts that collaborating with AISES and disseminating their narratives can significantly impact Indigenous representation in STEM. At present, AISES is providing support to 20 individuals across the nation who are pursuing academic qualifications in the field of casino gaming.

Past their first contribution, Aristocrat Gaming has committed an additional $30,000 to support activities at the yearly AISES gathering.

“As a devoted ally of AISES for more than six years,” stated James Starr, Head of VGT at Aristocrat Gaming, “we are delighted to strengthen this bond and showcase our dedication to nurturing the upcoming gaming industry workforce by assisting in the creation of prospects for Indigenous individuals in STEM learning and professions.”

This pledge arrives as tribal gaming income has achieved an unprecedented $40.9 billion in the 2022 fiscal year, as per a study published in late July.
