For Rising K-12 City Students, Summer is almost here!

The City of College Park is moving forward with offering our annual summer camp scholarships. Youth (rising K-12) who reside in the City of College Park are eligible to apply. Scholarships are granted up to a maximum of $400 per student. Students are eligible to receive a scholarship for one camp session only. Priority is given to youth who did not receive a City of College Park scholarship in previous years. In prior years, the scholarship was for a University of Maryland (UMD) summer camp, only. Due to COVID 19 and State guidelines, UMD has modified their camp offerings with limited slots, camp options, and setting. Some camps are in-person while others are virtual. For this reason, this year, we are extending use of our scholarship to include camps hosted by Prince George’s County Department of Parks & Recreation and Prince George’s Community College.

Scholarships may be used for both in person and virtual camp opportunities. For more information and details on camps offered by each organization, please visit their individual links below:

• University of Maryland Summer Camps (Go to search, type in “2021 Summer Camps”)
• Prince George’s County Department of Parks & Recreation Summer Camps
• Prince George’s Community College

Applications are due by May 21, 2021 at 5:00 p.m. Notifications will be sent on June 1, 2021.
