Who should attend this event?

This event is intended for girls currently in the 9th-12th grades. Girls can come on their own, with a group of friends or as a class.

Parents and teachers are invited to attend with their students, however, during the shadow time you will have separate activities.  Adults who attend the event will also be asked to pay the registration fee.  

How much does it cost?
The registration fee of $20 includes event participation and lunch. We will also provide a campus parking pass if needed.

A limited number of scholarships are available for families in need of financial assistance. Scholarships are awarded on a case-by-case basis. Applications are reviewed in the order which they are received. Scholarship criteria include but not limited to:

  • Family income

  • Number of persons living on income

  • First generation college student status (parents did not graduate from college)

  • Latina background

  • Immigrant Status (Immigrant or immigrated status include both those with or without papers)

  • Special individual/family circumstances

What about transportation?

Participants are responsible for their own transportation to and from K-State. If you would like to carpool with someone please contact us and we will see if there are others from your area attending the event.

If you are a teacher bringing a group of students that meet our scholarship criteria we may be able to help with funds for transportation. Contact Susan for more details (susanac@ksu.edu) or 785.532.3395.
