Summer Scholarships Available

What if this summer wasn’t just about sleeping in and looking at your phone? What if this summer was about doing something you love at a whole new level?

Every summer, WATG offers scholarships for students of all ages to help turn curiosity into action through exciting learning experiences all over the country. These scholarships provide financial support for students who want to attend engaging summer programs, camps, and classes designed to stretch their thinking and deepen their interests. From STEM to the arts to leadership and advanced academic studies, WATG helps open doors to opportunities that go far beyond the traditional classroom.

Imagine a summer filled with hands-on learning, creative exploration, and real challenges with other students with the same interests and talents. If you have a passion you want to explore or a talent you are ready to grow, a WATG scholarship can help make that dream a reality.

Applying is your chance to tell your story. In order to apply, students will submit an essay, video, or multimedia presentation that shares:

1. Their background, how they best learn, and what kind of enhanced enrichment they are looking for.
2. The summer program they hope to attend and why it excites them, and fits their interests. Include a statement on how this scholarship will help them pursue their dream.
3. A reflection of why they are a strong candidate for the scholarship.

In addition, students will submit one reference letter from a teacher or other non-related adult who can recommend the student for the scholarship. Applications are due April 1, 2026.

WATG is committed to making sure gifted students across Wisconsin have access to meaningful, high-quality learning experiences. If you are looking for a summer that will challenge you, inspire you, and help you grow, apply today.
