SSIP FAQ

  • Does "full scholarship" mean this is free?
  • Yes! Special thanks to the SSIP Sponsors for investing in future female engineers and computer scientists.
  • What is included?
  • Five nights lodging in a Gonzaga University dorm, daily lunch and dinner, plus breakfast snacks. Materials for all activities are included.
  • What do I need to apply?
  • The application form includes a short essay about yourself and why you want to participate in SSIP. We also need your high school to send us a transcript -- an unofficial version is fine. Finally, one of your current STEM teachers or a counselor will need to submit a letter of support. Information is available at the School Letters of Support page.
  • When will I find out if I was selected?
  • Program participants will be notified by email by March 31, 2025. You will need to confirm your acceptance of the scholarship and participation prior to April 14, 2025.
  • How many students can participate?
  • We anticipate accommodating a total of 15 high school students (rising juniors or seniors).
  • I’m not in Spokane, are travel funds available to get to Gonzaga?
  • Small travel grants are available for accepted SSIP students. After your application is accepted, contact SEAS.
Applications are due MARCH 3, 2025.
