About us
The Migratory Student Summer Academy is an Arizona Department of Education funded enrichment program for the high-school-aged children of Arizona’s migrant seasonal farmworkers (MSFW), focusing on leadership and instruction of core subjects of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). The activities of the Academy include leadership workshops, hands-on classroom instruction, and socio-cultural enrichment in a camp setting.
This program will be geared to 9th through 12th grade migratory students residing in Arizona who would benefit from the experience promoting success in higher education and beyond. ASU is the only four-year university in the State of Arizona with a CAMP program and it has a long history of hosting summer enrichment programs targeting diverse interests and serving different needs.
Our mission:
To provide an opportunity for Arizona migrant students to learn about STEM careers and develop leadership skills, and inspire them to continue their education after high school graduation.
