Summer Camp Scholarships

When doing research for a list of summer camps for gifted kids I was amazed at the wide array of programs available. Whoa! Your camper can participate in a course on the Great Books, International Affairs and Policy and more engineering programs than you can imagine.

Academic Summer Camp Scholarships

As you can guess these high quality programs come at a hefty price. At lease some (most) of them do. But, don’t let that stop you from exploring these incredible opportunities. Many of them offer financial aid and/or grants. I didn’t even know this was a thing! Several are quite reasonably priced and a few are at no cost to the family. Sweet.

But wait, there’s more! In the search I came across scholarships for some of these programs. Who knew this was a thing? Not me but you better believe I’m keeping this in mind for when my camper is ready for big kid camp.

There are some geographical restrictions and these scholarships are only good for certain programs. I don’t think anyone would mind attending the qualifying programs. They sound amazing.

Oh, the scholarships are only for young women. Sorry, guys.
