Camp Scholarships
Every student deserves a summer that inspires confidence, curiosity, and big dreams—and we're proud to help make that happen.
Thanks to the generosity of the W.D. Kelley Foundation, ALTRUSA International of Temple, the Leo L. Livingston Fund in partnership with the Community Foundation of the Brazos Valley, and other local donors, we awarded more than 380 partial or full camp scholarships in 2025, opening doors for students from all backgrounds to learn, grow, and thrive.
How Scholarships Work
Because scholarship funding varies from year to year, we don't know in advance how much support will be available. For that reason, we collect scholarship applications in hopeful anticipation of funds we may be able to award. Applying early ensures your student can be considered as scholarships become available.
All applications are reviewed by a team using a fair, data-driven evaluation and ranking process, ensuring every applicant has an equal opportunity for support.
Scholarship notifications will begin May 1, 2026.
