The Burroughs Wellcome Fund‘s Student Science Enrichment Program awards support creative, hands-on science education activities for K-12 students.

SSEP awards support career-oriented and practical programs intended to provide creative science enrichment activities for students in K-12 education who have shown exceptional skills and interest in science and mathematics, as well as those perceived to have high potential. These programs must enable students to participate in hands-on scientific activities and pursue inquiry-based avenues of exploration. To increase academic achievement, programs must provide a well-defined structure that aligns with the school-day curriculum, well-trained staff, and student follow up.

Nonprofit organizations serving North Carolina primary and secondary school students are eligible to apply. Activities typically occur outside of the school day. Funded programs have included afterschool programs, year-round science experiences, Saturday academies, and summer camps.

These awards provide up to $60,000 per year for three years; up to eleven awards will be given in the 2011 series.
