CLASSROOM VISITATIONS

Through the support of individuals, businesses, and community organizations we offer a classroom model that provides hands-on science lessons for both the students and the teacher. Working directly with elementary schools, The S.P.A.R.K.S. Foundation’s curriculum is comprised of science lessons aligned with the current science standards. These exciting programs provide the students with the opportunity to experience science in a fun, hands-on setting that encourages retention of the concepts presented. The programs also provide an interactive educational opportunity for both the children and their teacher as both can become comfortable with inquiry-based science.

SCHOOL ASSEMBLIES

The S.P.A.R.K.S. Foundation loves to demonstrate how fun and interesting science can be through in-school assemblies! There are various topics to choose from (energy, matter, and others!), and we bring in the pizzazz and sparkle and bring out the wonder and curiosity in the students. Help us spark their interest in science by funding a school assembly in your community. Enjoy this video: https://youtu.be/GPwG_rShrIA

COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIPS

How to apply: The S.P.A.R.K.S. Foundation College Scholarship Committee encourages applications from all high school students in their senior year whose intended major is in an area of the sciences and who are in need of financial assistance. The committee also considers scholastic achievement, academic promise, and community service in addition to financial need.

The Foundation can award up to four $2,500 scholarships, and the scholarship check will be sent directly to the college or university of the recipient.

The program of study should be full-time (2-year or 4-year) and one which will result in a degree or diploma. The Committee relies on the accuracy and completeness of the information provided in the application in order to choose recipients each year. Both the student and the parent(s) should carefully review the application for accuracy and sign where indicated.

Please send your application by April 8 of the year in which you will enter your first year of college. You will be notified of the committee’s decision by mid-June of that year.
