The North Carolina Aquarium on Roanoke Island is pleased to offer a limited number of scholarship opportunities for our week-long 2024 Summer Camps. This program is made possible by the receipt of a Student STEM Enrichment Program through the Burroughs Wellcome Fund.
The award announcement by Burroughs Wellcome states that the goal of these scholarships is to “empower and inspire North Carolina students to pursue excellence in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) through activities taking place outside of the traditional classroom schedule.” The Aquarium’s grant program is titled “A Year of STEM and the North Carolina Aquariums.”
With the support of this generous grant, all of the North Carolina Aquariums will be able to offer a small number of summer camp scholarships. At Roanoke Island, we aim to reach underserved and underrepresented students, ages 6-13, and fund registration and activity fees to attend our interactive, STEM-focused educational camps. The Roanoke Island scholarship application deadline is March 25, so apply today!
