Dear Educator or Counselor:
The deadline for the application into the 2008 Summer Academy is
approaching quickly, and we would like to remind you about this
wonderful opportunity for your students. Please forward this email to
students who have shown an interest in math, science and/or computing,
or to another counselor or educator that would know such students. The
deadline is _February 29, 2008_ (applications received after that date
will be considered on a space available basis).
The 2008 Summer Academy seeks to find the top 10 deaf and hard of
hearing students, 18 and over, who excel in and enjoy math, science
and/or computing (students 16 and 17 years of age who have exhibited
exceptional scholastic achievement in math, science and/or computing
may be considered for admission under specific conditions and
waivers). This is a challenging academic program from which
participants will receive college credit. The Summer Academy is
designed to introduce computing to deaf and hard of hearing students
considering computer science, computer engineering, information
science, information systems or information technology as a career,
either in industry or academia. Admission is very competitive, based
on an assessment of academic ability and enthusiasm to participate in
an intensive learning experience in all things computing. Our program
is fully funded by the National Science Foundation; tuition/, room &
board and transportation will be provided at no cost to selected
applicants./ This is truly an exciting opportunity!
You may also direct your students to our website at

Thank you for your assistance,
