UNO STEM Scholars 2016 camp underway, thanks to your support!

August 05, 2016

Thanks to your support, we have 51 students in this year's camp that now is underway.  There are 28 students who plan to major in sciences and 23 students who plan to be engineering majors.  Thirty-nine students are in one of three math camps (algebra, pre-calculus algebra, or calculus) and 12 are in the biology camp.    These students, 27% of whom are the first in their family to attend college, are very appreciative of the support you have provided for them to attend this camp. Here is a picture of our students during the camp this year.  The camp runs through Tuesday.  Thanks again for your donation!
