Diversity Program Awards are presented to chapters that have organized outstanding programs that promote diversity within the science, engineering and research communities.
The Rockefeller Chapter arranged for 17 students from inner-city neighborhoods in New York City to have internships at leading research institutions around the city. These students would not normally have access to scientific and engineering internships. The internship program included lectures on research topics.
Honorary mention for Outstanding Performance for the Chapter for years 2004-2005

Diversity Program Awards were presented to chapters that have organized outstanding programs to promote diversity within the science, engineering and research communities. Nominees were chosen by the Regional Directors based on Chapter Annual Reports and by the new Diversity Award Program. Winners were chosen by the Society's Diversity Committee.
Rockefeller University Chapter continues to support the Harlem Children Society as it grows and expands globally. Starting just over six years ago with three students, the program has now grown to 183 students from minority backgrounds guided by 250 mentors in 50 institutions. Students have been encouraged to compete at several regional and national science conferences and competitions with many going on to win prestigious awards and internships in various institutions in the US and Africa.
