We encourage all students to take advantage of the numerous opportunities the science magnet program offers. Those who need financial assistance in order to participate in some of these activities may apply for a scholarship.
Students who qualify for scholarships are those who meet the following requirements:
- Includes one or more below:
- Student participates in the “School Lunch Program”.
- Family receives food stamps or TANF
- Recent loss of employment
- Other making full payment notpossible.
- Application approved by the Science Magnet Board.
- Non-refundable trip deposit is made at the time of the application.
- Meet the minimum eligibility requirements for science magnet trips.
Scholarships are made possible through the fundraising efforts of the Santa Monica Science Magnet. Scholarship amounts will be determined (up to 50%) by the Science Magnet Board and based on the financial needs of the student. Please note that scholarship funds also depend on availability and may be different from year to year.
Upon approval of the application, a payment schedule will be set up, and must be honored. If payments are not received by the due dates established then the scholarship offer will be taken away. Students not awarded a scholarship may also set up a payment plan. Payments must be completed by March 1 st unless otherwise noted by the board.
In addition, scholarship families will be responsible for completing community service hours, for the science magnet, totaling 1 hour for every $25 awarded. Hours must be logged and signed by a science teacher on a given community service card.
Scholarship students are expected to be role models for other students. Students must abide by all John Adams Middle School rules. Consequences for poor behavior can include those listed in the student handbook and cancellation of the scholarship.
