SMASH Fundraiser,

About the event

We are the SMASH Stanford site and we are looking for people to fund our program and studies. As a team we need $14,000 in order to continue our college preparatory courses from edx.org. Each course is approximately $50 and we have 28 scholars that need to complete 10 courses over the next 3 years. These couses will prepare us for college and better our future. We recently finished our first year in high school and are really looking forward into learning more about the world.

Why should you sponsor?

You should sponsor our event because the world needs more underrespresented people in the STEM field. The majority of minorites do not have enough money for their education and SMASH scholars are a part of those in need. Help us achieve our dreams of having a good education and promising future.

The Summer Math and Science Honors Academy (SMASH) is a free of cost, STEM-intensive, college preparatory program for underrepresented high school students of color. SMASH boasts a rigorous 5-week, 3-year summer STEM enrichment program which provides access to rigorous coursework and access to mentors, role models, and support networks of students of color. SMASH scholars remain engaged during the school year through monthly STEM activities and workshops. The program not only reinforces the students’ STEM academic identities, but also focuses on developing their critical thinking, civic awareness, leadership and sense of social responsibility.
