Saturday Scholarships!

For Families...great summer/scholarship opportunities:

Saturday Academy is committed to extending our educational enrichment
opportunities to students from populations historically underrepresented
in the sciences. Saturday Academy engages young people through in-depth
learning and problem solving by connecting them with community experts
who serve as instructors as well as role models. The primary focus of
our program is in science, engineering, math and technology, however a
substantial number of classes are offered in the humanities and arts.

WHAT/WHO: Scholarships for Saturday Academy classes
The following groups of students are eligible for scholarships funded by
the Intel Foundation:
· Hispanic/Latino/Latina, African-American and Native American
students
· ESL students who qualify for free or reduced lunch
*Students may use the certificates to sign up for any *math, science,
engineering, or computer* class that they find interesting.

WHEN: You can use the scholarships anytime now through summer on a first
come first serve basis.

WHY: Intel has provided us with these funds to scholarship
underrepresented students.

WHO: Please contact April Sandoval, Director of Outreach, to register a
student.
Because our classes are generally limited to 10 students and may fill
quickly, please encourage students to list an alternate class choice if
they have one. You can check on class openings on our website at
www.saturdayacademy.org . Please note
that enrollment is on a first come first served basis. Every effort
will be made to enroll students in a class of their choosing.

Thanks,
April
