Thank you to all of our past and current Youth Programs sponsors and friends. Without you many of our summer participants would be unable to attend our programs. Our "Friends of Youth Programs" provide support each year in many forms that allow us provide programming to as many participants as possible each year.

We pride ourselves at trying to remain one of the most affordable summer programs in the nation. In addition, we try to assist students in finding financial support to attend our programs to the best of our abilities.

Please take the time to look at all of our generous corporate 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 Steve Patchin, Director of Youth Programs Outreach and Engagement at shpatchi@mtu.edu or (906) 487-2219.

We will be offering (20) Summer Camps for current 6th - 8th grade students and (48) Career and Adventure Explorations for current 9th - 11th grade students…where college begins!

In addition, we will be providing competitive scholarships for students to attend the following programs:

• Women in Engineering
• Engineering Scholars Program

Summer 2009

In 2009, 59% of our Summer Youth participants received some form of financial assistance to enable them to come to campus. Students received partial or full scholarships, some of which included transportation costs or additional stipends.

In addition to our Summer Youth Camps and Explorations, we also awarded competitive scholarships to 263 participants in 2009 to attend Women in Engineering, Explorations in Engineering and the National Summer Transportation Institute.
