SMASH is a FREE intensive college-prep program for students underrepresented in STEM. We are committed to eliminating the barriers faced by these students and helping prepare them for STEM degrees and careers. Students are recruited in the 9th grade and participate for 3+ years! Each summer, students will stay on Wayne State's campus for 5-weeks and engage in project-based learning, getting a taste of the college experience. Throughout the year our scholars continue their learning through workshops held once a month on Saturdays.
SMASH is currently recruiting students for the third cohort of SMASH Wayne State scholars and would love representation from Voyager Academy!
Who are they looking for?
We are looking for high-potential 9th-grade students from backgrounds traditionally underrepresented in STEM! Scholars should have at least a 3.0 GPA (as measured by their 9th grade semester 1 report card or final 8th grade GPA).
Applications are accepted until l February 28th, however the application process is competitive!
