The
Summer Academy for Mathematics and Science is a six-week rigorous residential
experience for high school seniors who have a strong interest in computer
science, engineering and natural sciences. The summer academy's goal is to
equip students with essential skills necessary for successful completion of
STEM majors.
The program seeks to recruit underserved and
underrepresented students who hail from a multitude of diverse backgrounds,
including ethnic minority students, students from economically disadvantaged
backgrounds, populations inadequately represented in STEM disciplines and
students who reside in underserved school districts and/or are first generation
college-bound students.
We
strongly encourage students from the following backgrounds to apply*:
- Students
from racial backgrounds that are underrepresented in science and
engineering (African American, Hispanic/Latino or Native American)
- Underserved
students, coming from low socioeconomic backgrounds (which may be
indicated by qualifying for free/reduced school lunches)
- First-generation
college students (a high school student whose parent(s) haven't received a
bachelor's degree)
*All
applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents.
