The North Carolina School for Science and Math is excited to share that the Summer Accelerator residential program, sponsored by the Dogwood Health Trust, is open for applications! We have openings for 60 middle and high school students to stay on our NCSSM-Morganton campus during the week of July 21 - 26th and take one of these summer courses. The application process is competitive. The students' rooms, food, courses, supplies, and field trips will be covered by the grant. Parents will need to drop students off at the NCSSM-Morganton campus on July 21 and pick them up on July 26th. I've attached a flier for the program to share with students and schools in your areas.
This free opportunity is only available to students in the Dogwood Health Trust area. You MUST live in one of these counties/areas in the Dogwood Health Trust area: Avery, Buncombe, Burke, Cherokee, Clay, Graham, Haywood, Henderson, Jackson, Macon, Madison, McDowell, Mitchell, Polk, Rutherford, Swain, Transylvania, and Yancey as well as the Qualla Boundary.
