Financial Aid and Scholarships for Science-U Camps

Science-U strives to make our unique summer science camps affordable and accessible! Thanks to our partnerships with faculty, corporations, and organizations, we offer financial aid to families in need and award merit-based STEM scholarships to youth. 

Like previous years, financial aid applications will be available for Summer 2025 when camp registration opens. Please follow our Facebook page and subscribe to our newsletter to be notified when Summer 2025 camp registration opens!

• Financial aid for Science-U camps is awarded based on available funds and the total number of applications.
• Scholarships for Science-U are merit-based and require applications by students as well as teacher recommendations.

The process for applying for financial aid will be different for the 2025 camp season. Instructions will be available soon.
