Scholarships

Girls Rock Math recognizes the importance of providing STEM enrichment through our program to any girl or family who has the desire to attend camp, regardless of economic background or resources. Thanks to our generous donors, the Girls Rock Math scholarship fund provides access to summer camp for those who otherwise would not have the financial means to attend camp.

If paying for camp would be a hardship for your family we encourage you to apply for a scholarship. We know that camp is expensive and not within reach of all families. Many factors are taken into consideration including household income, extenuating family circumstances, and the high cost of living in our region. Scholarships are offered in order to offset the cost of camp.

Any family who would like to may apply for a scholarship, though we particularly encourage families to apply if:

• You receive WIC, Basic Food or SNAP
• Your child qualifies for Seattle Public Schools Free and Reduced Lunch
• You are applying for a foster child
• Your total household income is less than 60% the Seattle median household income

Policy

It is the policy of Girls Rock Math to offer financial assistance to applicants whenever possible. Scholarship amounts will be determined based on need, circumstances and available funds.

Application Process

Please complete the scholarship application and wait for your recipient letter prior to registering for camp. Be as comprehensive as possible with the information you provide in the application, including supporting financial documentation. If you are applying for more than one child, please submit a separate application for each child.



Scholarship Awards

Our Scholarship Committee will review and award scholarships on the 1st of each month until all scholarship funds are allocated. You can expect to hear from Girls Rock Math about the status of your application by the 15th of the month.

We will award scholarships in the amount of your child’s camp week at a discount of 25%, 50% and 75% at the discretion of the scholarship committee and available funds. Since funds are limited, scholarships awards are limited to one week per child, per year. Morning and Afternoon Extended Day is provided at no cost to every scholarship recipient.

Our BIPOC Equity Access Scholarship may cover up to 100% of camp costs.



Registration

Please do not register until you have received your award. We will provide a discount code for you to use that will reduce the price of you camp based on the amount of award you receive.

After registration, you are responsible for any remaining balance after the scholarship funds have been issued. Any remaining balance for camp will be automatically charged to your card on file on June 1st. Please note we cannot refund fees paid in advance of your scholarship decision.



Camp Availability

All camps have spots reserved for scholarship recipients. However, some of our camps fill up quickly and scholarships are first-come, first-serve. In the case that your desired camp week, theme, or location is unavailable we will provide you with alternatives to choose from when possible.



BIPOC Equity Access Scholarship

In order to provide opportunity to those who are the furthest from STEM Equity, Girls Rock Math dedicates a portion of each scholarship donation to our BIPOC Equity Access Scholarship recipients. These scholarships are offered specifically to those who identify as part of the BIPOC community and can cover up to 100% of the cost of camp.
