For students who make summer plans later, a second application deadline, Thursday, April 10, at 4:00 p.m., is available. Awards from the second round of applications will be announced in late April.

• Program Selection

  Applicants should adhere to the following guidlines regarding places of study and carefully select rigorous and rewarding programs or internships.  
  
  

  • Summer programs must last a minimum of five days and be sponsored by colleges, universities, and other reputable institutions that foster educational growth by offering math, science, and engineering camps, political and law programs, dance and theater company programs, foreign exchange and immersive language programs, museum programs, and student research and internship opportunities.
  • Independently planned programs and service-learning programs are also eligible.
  • Applicants are strongly advised to research and seek a program that is tailored to their particular interests and possible career paths.
  • Scholarships will not be awarded for outdoor leadership or adventure programs, seminar-based programs, or vacation-based travel.

• Written Prospectus

  Applicants should write a 2- to 4-page typed prospectus that includes the following:
  
  

  • A header that includes your last name and graduation year;
  • A description of the chosen program with a working link to the program webpage or brochure;
  • A short essay on how the program would benefit the student as a scholar;
  • A short essay of how the program would enable you to contribute to the Indian Springs School community;
  • A brief explanation of the total cost of the program, including all fees, transportation, and other expenses;
  • The dollar amount you are requesting; and
  • An explanation of how you will personally contribute to the cost of your program.

• Application Vetting

  Applicants should bring the program information and draft of the prospectus to a faculty member of SEEC in a related field (see list below). This faculty member will review the program information and prospectus with the student to offer any additional guidance they see fit.
  
  Please note: This is a required step of the application process. Getting approval from this faculty member is only permission to submit your application and does not in any way guarantee you will receive an Abroms scholarship.
