The American Association of University Women’s (AAUW) Santa Maria Branch is granting full scholarships for eight local students to attend UC Santa Barbara’s Tech Trek, a weeklong science and math camp designed to develop interest and confidence in young women entering the eighth grade in the fall. The camp features hands-on activities in math, science, and technology.
AAUW Santa Maria members have matched funds for several grants, including those donated by Coast Hills Community Foundation, Elks Charities, Energy Partners Fund, Santa Maria Kiwanis for Kids Inc., and the Santa Maria Rotary Foundation. More information is available at 266-7790.
