What do your donations support?
A variety of regional enrichment opportunities for K-12 students.
Why is that important?
Because we believe that every student, no matter where they live or how much money they have, deserves enrichment experiences that position them to learn, grow and find success.
Donations of ALL sizes make an impact!
If 25 individuals each donate $5, we will have enough funds to provide three scholarships for a student conference!
A $25 donation can supply rockets and engines for several students to build during the Rocket Blast Off session at the Science and Nature Conference.

The Science and Nature Conference will be held on May 7 at SMSU in Marshall. The keynote speaker will be Jarod Lueck with the National Eagle Center! Students will get to meet a live eagle! Jarod has been educating with Raptor Ambassadors for over nine years. After the keynote, students will attend three sessions from a list of 24 different hands-on, interactive breakout sessions. This is a GREAT opportunity to get kids excited about science, technology, engineering and math!
