  • Visit campus research labs and local employer partners
  • Interact with Raikes School students and staff, all of whom play a key role in the competitive selection process to the program each year 

The camp will be held at the Kauffman Academic Residential Center, home of the Raikes School, in the heart of Nebraska's city campus.

Full and partial scholarships are available and students can apply for scholarships through the Summer Camp application. The application deadline is May 1 and will be accepted on a rolling basis after May 1 as space is available.
