If you are a student who will be entering the 6th, 7th, or 8th grade in the fall of 2008, you are eligible to apply for the Computers for Kids program or TV/Film Production Camp (8th & 9th grade).  There are Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) Precollege Scholarships available to cover the program cost of $568 or $736.  You can apply for a DPI  Scholarship if you are eligible for free or reduced school lunch and are a resident of Wisconsin.  Most programs require that you have at least a 2.00 GPA in core classes.  These scholarships are need-based, and they cover all of the program costs.  (Transportation to and from UWSP and personal spending money are not considered program costs, and therefore, are not covered.)

DPI scholarship applications are available from your school guidance counselor's office, at Wisconsin Educational Opportunity Program (WEOP) offices, or call:
