Natural Resources Conservation Workshop Camp takes place at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College in Tifton, GA during June 7 - 11, 2009. Registration Deadline is May 15, 2009 (THIS FRIDAY) and is for high school students entering the 10th, 11th or 12th grade in the Fall 2009. At the end of the week, there are quizzes, and based on them, they give out $16,000 in scholarships. (I wish my son was interested in the great outdoors...)
The application is at http://www.abac.edu/psbo/nrcw/2009%20NRCW%20Application.pdf. It costs $150, but local Natural Resource Conservation offices usually pay the fee. And there's a bus to bring the kids and taken them back afterwards. Links to the local NRC office (I think its representative needs to sign the application, not sure), what to bring, history of the program (they've been doing this for 41 years), etc. are at the first link, above. The program is a mix of outdoors field trips, classroom learning, meeting with people in the fields, and recreation time...and scholarships.
Career Discovery Program in Architecture at GA Tech's School of Architecture (probably too late for this year) http://www.coa.gatech.edu/news/event.php?id=3992 $600 for two weeks, non-residential. Seems other arhcitecture schools aroudn the country offer similar ones.
Materials Science Camp for Students, offered in different locations. http://asmcommunity.asminternational.org/portal/site/www/Foundation/Students/Camps/ Free (must be accepted). Residential ones are offered at NC State, Penn State, Missouri University of Science and Technology, and at the headquarters of ASMI in Ohio (that's where my son will be attending). Materials science is a kind of engineering. (Science teachers should be told about it too--they also offer camps for teachers, I think free too.)
Many more at http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/summer-programs/614543-free-excellent-scholarship-summer-programs-2.html, including some at the CDC and a Marie Walsh Sharpe Seminar in colorado--for art. These are free. I so want my son to apply to the Marie Walsh Sharpe Seminar next summer...
