Science Camp Scholarship Fund

Donate to the Science Camp Scholarship Fund

There are many students with a deep passion for science who are unable to attend Science Camp without financial assistance. These students rely on the donations of our supporters for the scholarships to Science Camp that make it possible to attend.

Since the first Science Camp for Teens in 2013, Science Camps of America has awarded more than $280,000 to over 190 students, and 48% of all campers have received a full or partial scholarship. The funds for these scholarships have been provided to the students through individual contributions and grants to the Science Camp Scholarship Fund and have been used to directly reduce or eliminate tuition costs for students who would otherwise be unable to attend.

100% of your donation to the Science Camp Scholarship Fund goes directly to students, through full and partial scholarships that eliminate or reduce the students' registration fees. Scholarships are awarded based upon financial need. To be eligible, students applying for scholarships complete an online application, providing personal and financial information and science education experience. Online applications must also be signed by the student's parent or guardian. See our privacy policy.

Your support helps introduce more young people to scientific discovery, environmental exploration, and experiential STEM education.

Your support is greatly appreciated.
