The Sci-TEC Academy is a career and leadership network for students in grades 6–12. Any youth who has participated in a Purdue Fort Wayne STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) program or has an interest in ETCS (Engineering, Technology, and Computer Science) careers is encouraged to apply.

 

Why Sci-TEC Academy?

  • Provides an opportunity for pre-college youth to engage in STEM-related academy activities presented by faculty during the school year;

  • Offers a peer network to meet pre-college students from a variety of schools with similar interests; and

  • Share valuable information about ETCS degrees, career paths, and northeast Indiana opportunities for scholarships, internships, and cooperative education while meeting Purdue Fort Wayne students, faculty, and Sci-TEC community industry partners.

 

Application Process:

  • Complete the application and include a student profile listing past STEM activities. Write a short paragraph describing your interest and why you would like to be selected.
  • Provide one name on the application of an adult other than a parent or family member (e.g., teacher, guidance counselor, youth mentor, STEM competition coach) who could recommend you.
  • There is no cost to apply. If selected, a participation fee of $95, or $85 for past members, is required upon your confirmation. If you are in need of assistance for a financial scholarship, there is a prompt on the application for further information.
