WIRED Summer Academy is committed to making its programs accessible to students from all backgrounds. We believe financial circumstances should not be a barrier to world-class, pre-collegiate education. Our Scholarship Program aims to improve the availability, access, and equity of learning opportunities by providing scholarships based on financial need. To be considered, students must submit a completed program application, followed by a scholarship application. Scholarships are limited and disbursed on a first-applied, first-awarded basis until all funds have been exhausted. For this reason, we encourage eligible students to apply as soon as possible.

WIRED Summer Academy is committed to fostering a culture that embraces the values of diversity and inclusiveness. We believe that diversity — in all its forms — is a driver for new ideas, creativity, and academic excellence. Moreover, we are dedicated to creating a climate of dignity and respect as well as recruiting and retaining a diverse group of leaders, administrators, faculty, staff, and students.

Promoting a nurturing, inclusive environment means actively opposing intolerance, bigotry, bias, and discrimination. The policies and educational objectives of WIRED Summer Academy further inclusivity and cultural effectiveness. These values are recognized and supported fully by WIRED Summer Academy leadership. Additionally, we recognize that the responsibility for maintaining a culture of diversity and inclusion lies with all of us.

WIRED Summer Academy regularly works with schools, foundations, education institutions and community-based organizations that work with student populations.
