For over 30 years, before STEM was being promoted, the Society of American Military Engineers (SAME) has been advancing events and activities and offering scholarships designed to excite students to become engineers.
SAME, in collaboration with the military services, offers a series of week long, STEM Engineering & Construction Camps designed for High School students who excel in math, science and technology courses and are interested in pursuing engineering, architecture, or related fields in college.
Each of our camps has their unique curriculum, with the common thread being: challenging environment, hands-on activities, mentors who are young engineers, long term resources for alumni.
For more information visit the SAME website.
What we’re looking for:
- Students entering 9th - 11th grade
- Evidence of strong accomplishments inside and outside the classroom
- Strong academic performance
- Strong PSAT, SAT or ACT scores (where applicable)
- A strong interest in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math
The Naval Academy Summer STEM program fee is $900 per student. This includes room and board, all meals and activities, and local transportation. Campers should bring additional funds for snacks and souvenirs.
