CYBERCamp 2017 - can we count on
your sponsorship?
We have GREAT news! Our first ever
CYBERCamp in July 2016 was such a HUGE success we're already planning for
summer 2017- AND we're going to do TWO one-week camps! We need your
help to sponsor a variety of items for our students. We are offering five
sponsorship packages and encourage you and your company to consider
making this investment in the NCR's future cyber warriors. Since we are running
two one-week camps, there are two of each of the sponsorship packages available
(one for each week). You can view (and purchase!) the sponsorship
packages here.
CYBERCamp 2017 will be held in July 2017 at Mantech University in Herndon, VA.
If you have sponsorship questions, please contact Sponsorship Lead
Christian Galvan at christian.galvan@capitalone.com.
Registration and additional information will be available in spring 2017.
Interested in volunteering to help with the camp? Sign up here.Thursday, December 29, 2016

travel scholarships for high school students from the African
continent to attend 2017 YYGS at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut,
USA. YYGS is committed to increasing education access for high achieving

African country and currently reside on the continent;
·
Have attended school
in an African country for most of the applicant’s education;

including
the need-based scholarships portion
In order to be eligible for these scholarships, applicants must meet ALL of the requirements listed above. The online application, including the need-based scholarships portion and all supplemental materials, must be submitted by January 31, 2017.

The Yale Young Global Scholars Program is a summer academic
enrichment and leadership program that brings together outstanding high school
students from around the world for intensive two-week sessions on the Yale
campus. Applications are available online at http://globalscholars.yale.edu
. The application deadline is January 31, 2017. Please share this
opportunity with anyone who may be interested!
Sincerely,
The YYGS Team
P.S. Please note that six students from the African continent will receive these full tuition plus travel scholarships, however every admitted student that completes the need-based scholarship portion of the application will be considered for a tuition discount. Last year, approximately one third of program participants received full or partial scholarships based on financial need. Unfortunately, YYGS cannot guarantee tuition discounts to all those who apply for it.
