Scholarship Opportunities for Young men attending the following schools in MO and link them to the organization's website which is https://sigep.org/
SigEp knows that the transition for graduating high school seniors to college can be tough, and the cost of college can create even more stress. We want to do our part to help. With college around the corner, we wanted to ensure you and the students you work with know that we have over $300,000 in scholarship opportunities at over 100 campuses nationwide.
Will you help us distribute this information to the men graduating from your high school this year?
To qualify for the Balanced Man Scholarship, incoming students should submit an online application and enroll full-time at any of these institutions for the fall 2025 term (no essay required). Final deadlines vary by school, but the early application deadline for most scholarships is June 1, 2025. Applicants have no obligation to affiliate with or join SigEp to be eligible. This resource is intended to assist with college affordability while introducing students to campus life opportunities.
As someone who plays an important role in college decisions for many students, we need your help getting the word out about these scholarships. Please distribute the scholarship page link (sigepscholarships.com) to young men planning on attending one of these schools. If you or your students have questions concerning the Balanced Man Scholarship, please contact me. Thank you for your time and assistance.
Sincerely,
Blake Gurney

The High School S2J Summer Academy offers an immersive learning experience that is both educational and engaging!
Through a combination of hands-on activities, industry partner tours, and exposure to cutting-edge technologies, students are provided a glimpse into a variety of science-related careers. On-campus activities and industry demonstrations provide a fun and unique way to explore and cultivate a passion for Science.
Academy sessions will feature activities in bioscience, environmental science, exercise science, forensic science, and health science. Students will participate in each session to learn more about these Science fields.
​

​
*The High School S2J Summer Academy is limited to a total of 30 participants. The S2J Summer Academy is open to current 8th and 9th grade students in Missouri school districts. On-campus overnight residency is required.
Incoming high school students — freshmen through seniors — are eligible to attend the program, which is sponsored by the School of Criminology and Criminal Justice (CCJ).
The first camp is scheduled for June 9-12. The second camp will be held July 28-31.
Sessions run from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. daily. Since CSI camp is a day camp only, the university does not offer nightly accommodations or transportation to MSU from hotels.
Camp tuition remains $275 per camper, the same as last year. Tuition fees include a camp t-shirt and daily lunch.
Each camp can accept up to 40 students.
Students enjoy immersive learning
CSI Camp continues to be a popular option to introduce high school students to the world of criminology and criminal justice.
The camp covers topics like basic criminal investigation, forensic analysis techniques, crime scene processing and collection and packaging of evidence.
Campers participate in immersive learning activities such as collecting and reading fingerprints, analyzing blood spatter and ballistic analysis. They will even work a mock crime scene during their session.
