2024 Summer Scholarship Information
At CEISMC we believe that financial hardship should never hinder a child's opportunity to participate in one of our summer programs. As a result, we are proud to offer scholarships for all of our on-campus summer programs. Scholarships reduce the registration fee for a summer program by 75%. For example, if a program is $300 at full price, the scholarship rate will be $75. Each program has a limited number of scholarships and they are awarded on a first-come, first-serve basis.
BOOST Scholarship Announcement!
We are excited to announce that The Georgia Department of Education (GaDOE) has funded the Center for Education Integrating Science, Mathematics, and Computing (CEISMC) Student Programs to receive funding through the Building Opportunities in Out-of-School Time (BOOST) grant program!
These funds will be used to expand access to serve more youth, reduce barriers to participation and increase programmatic quality.
About BOOST Grants
The BOOST Grants Program provides three-year grants, renewed annually, to community-based and statewide organizations that operate comprehensive out-of-school time (OST) programming year-round, over the summer months, or after school during the academic year.
Purpose of BOOST Grants
- Expand access to serve more youth, with an emphasis on students and communities most impacted by the pandemic
- Reduce barriers, such as transportation and enrollment costs, to ensure access for all
- Increase the programmatic quality and expand or enhance supports and services offered
