Donations are used to expand scholarships to qualified students from low-income families – typically those making less than $50,000 a year. A gift of $3,000 will pay for one student’s tuition for a residential summer program. Or, $225 will pay for textbooks and lab fees. You can name a scholarship for $100,000 and the endowment’s interest will support a student each summer, in perpetuity. Scholarships may be directed to particular regions and/or academic areas of interest. CTY also is seeking support for: - – This four-year program aims to prepare high-potential underrepresented and economically disadvantaged 8th graders for admission to top colleges and universities. For $20,000, a sponsor can give a student resources already enjoyed by many of his or her middle-class peers of similar intelligence including CTY summer and distance education programs, academic advising, mentoring, SAT preparation, and professional college counseling. The ultimate goal of this national program is to diversify and enrich the future leadership pool of our country. (Contact: Julian Jones at jj1@jhu.edu.)
www.cogito.org – This new CTY Web site targets students with a talent for math and science and allows them to connect with peers and experts in the field to discuss everything from global warming and biomedical research to cold fusion and nanotechnology. CTY seeks funding to strengthen the site’s editorial content, to broaden its international reach and to assure its sustainability. (Contact: Joan Wisner-Carlson at jwisner2@jhu.edu.)
CTY China and CTY Mexico – Two international sites will open in summer 2007 to expand foreign study opportunities for U.S. students. Start-up funds for both sites and scholarships for economically disadvantaged students from both the United States and the host countries are needed. (Contact: Julian Jones at jj1@jhu.edu.)
Technological upgrades to summer sites – CTY seeks to increase the number of portable laptop labs to allow students to prepare essays and lab reports and have access to instructional resources such as virtual labs and demonstrations. “Smart classrooms” would be created at the largest sites to allow instructors to take advantage of an array of software and online resources.
