Thank you to all of our past and
current Summer Youth Programs sponsors and
friends. Without you many of our summer
participants would be unable to attend
our programs. Our sponsors provide
support each year in many forms that
allow us provide programming to as many
participants as possible each year and
still remain one of the most affordable
summer programs in the nation.
Please take the time to look at all of
our generous corporate and private
donors that have recently supported our
programs. Support for our programs comes
in many forms from not only corporate
donors, but also foundations, the
university and individuals in many
forms:
-
Student Scholarships (partial or
full)
-
Role model speakers
-
Supplies
-
Volunteer time
If you are interested in learning more
about how you can help to support our
programs, please contact Cody Kangas,
Director, Center for Pre-College
Outreach at
ckangas@mtu.edu or (906) 487-2219.
Each year we receive donations from
corporate donors, foundations, and
individuals, which allow us to offer
scholarships to summer participants who
would otherwise not be able to attend
our programs. Through our donors, over
50% of our participants each year
receive some form of financial
assistance. Students receive partial or
full scholarships, some of which include
transportation costs or additional
stipends.
Even though we pride ourselves in
remaining one of the most affordable
summer programs in the nation, your
support will help us to continue to
provide our unique camp experiences to
additional participants each summer.

Women's Competitive Scholarship
Programs
at Michigan Tech
Scholarships provide opportunities for
high-achieving young women in grades
6-11 to experience different areas of
engineering at Michigan Tech's Summer
Youth Programs. By hosting programs
exclusively for girls, Michigan Tech is
trying to change the widespread
perception that STEM fields are only for
males. Our main competitive programs for
women are Women in Engineering, Women in
Automotive Engineering, Women in
Computer Science, and Junior Women in
Engineering. These programs need your
sponsorship to provide opportunities to
as many future female engineers and
scientists as possible. Visit our
Superior Ideas campaign
page to donate. Students applying
for all of these programs are highly
competitive and motivated young people
who come from widely varying backgrounds
to ignite their passion and engage in an
experience that will shape their lives
and benefit society. Since 2009, of the
WIE alumnae who reported their chosen
college major to the National Student
Clearinghouse, 63% pursued an
engineering degree.
Summer Youth Programs Scholarship Fund
Michigan Tech's Summer Youth Programs were
established in 1972. Since then we have
built our programs to try and serve over
1,000 students each summer from all over
the nation and world. Our summer
programs are separated into three
primary categories:
-
Middle School Explorations (Current 6th - 8th
grade students)
-
Pre-College Explorations (current
9th - 11th grade students)
-
Competitive Scholarship Programs
(current 9th - 11th grade students)
Many of our summer participants would
not be able to attend our programs
without your generous support.
Scholarships for students are
distributed in various amounts based on
need and merit. Contributions can be
specified for students of specific grade
levels, for specific explorations, or
for our Competitive Scholarship
Programs.
