Scholarships for Summer Engineering Program
The University of Vermont Governor's Institute on Engineering has 40 full tuition scholarships for students in grades 9-11 to attend its summer program for students interested in science, math, or engineering. Students who participate in the Global Challenge program, a non-profit, scholarship program funded by the NSF, can apply for these scholarships. There is no cost to participate in Global Challenge. Students who are interested in science, math or engineering should check out the camp and the Global Challenge program and if interested contact Sally O’Rourke, Director of Student Advising for The Global Challenge. Students who have not started this year's Global Challenge competition are still eligible for the summer program scholarship if they express an interest and commitment to trying the program next year. There are some travel funds available to students with demonstrated need. These scholarships are open to anyone regardless of sex, race, financial status, etc.
