GIANT Kids Scholarship Fund
The GIANT Room is dedicated to bringing kids’ voices back into education — and that means ALL voices! The GIANT Kids Scholarship Fund supports children and families in the GIANT community who are unable to pay full price for GIANT programs.
Scholarships are currently available for our summer camp programs at the Museum of the City of New York and will fund one week of the program.
WHO IS ELIGIBLE FOR A SCHOLARSHIP
Children and families without the financial means to pay full price for GIANT programs are welcome and encouraged to apply for a scholarship. Scholarships will be given based on financial need through an application process — priority will be given to families in East Harlem and the Bronx. Scholarships are not guaranteed.
Awardees will be notified via email by July 7th if they have received a scholarship.

ABOUT SUMMER CAMPS
Creative STEM Summer Camps are for families with kids 5 to 12 years old.
Location: MCNY is located on 5th Avenue and 104th St, right across from Central Park.
Dates: Three weeks in summer, July 17th to Aug 4th
Time: 9am to 3pm with the option for early drop in at 8:30 and late pick up at 5pm.
Program: Each week we’ll run two different camps, one for the kids ages 5 to 7 years old, and another one for kids ages 8 to 12 years old. Programs will be inspired by the museum’s exhibitions with a focus on coding and games for change, fashion, food and science, architecture, storytelling, animation, design, and more. Participating kids’ projects will be featured in GIANT publications following the camp programs.
