Students in the Chester Upland, Coatesville, Norristown, Philadelphia – Furness High School, Phoenixville, Upper Darby, West Chester, and William Penn School Districts are invited to enroll in one of our upcoming programs and/or events to get to know the organization and learn more about YMWIC membership; the advantages of becoming a YMWIC Scholar; and understanding how the many services and resources provided benefit Scholars personally, academically, and professionally.
Become a YMWIC Scholar
While in college, thanks to the commitment of YMWIC’s corporate and university partners, each Scholar alum who maintains the Foundation’s academic requirements and standards is eligible to receive scholarship support and participate in internships that will prepare them for STEM careers.
Scholar Criteria
YMWIC has a rolling membership process. Students who are interested in seeking membership with YMWIC must submit an application. Students eligible for application must be in the 3rd through 11th grades as of the September – June program year. They do not need to have an interest in STEM.
Scholar Standards
Once enrolled in the organization, each young Scholar and his or her family become part of the YMWIC family. They make a commitment to remain an active participant in the Foundation until high school graduation, to participate fully in program activities, and maintain a high grade point average.
