2020 Camp Fee

Our camp fee system is as follows:

Families who demonstrate financial need: FREE
Families who do not demonstrate financial need: $600

Financial need is demonstrated by qualifying for one of the following programs:

If your family demonstrates financial need, you do not need to submit an additional scholarship application. You only need to indicate your financial need when responding to the camp fee question in the application. However, Girls in Engineering reserves the right to request financial need documentation during the application review process.

Requesting a scholarship review: If your family cannot afford camp, but does not qualify for one of the programs listed above, you may e‑mail gie@berkeley.edu to request that we review your specific situation. You can contact us at any time—your child does not need to submit an application first. Do not submit financial statements (tax returns, etc.) unless requested to do so. Sensitive information should never be e-mailed to us, due to UC Berkeley’s data security policy.

Information for families that do not demonstrate financial need

Admissions decisions will be e-mailed to parents by April 15.

When is tuition due?

The non-refundable tuition deposit ($100) is due by May 1.

Will I receive a refund if my child withdraws from camp?

The refund level is determined by when your child withdraws:

May 18 – If written notice of withdrawal from GiE is received by May 18, your payment will be refunded, minus the $100 deposit.
May 31 – If written notice of withdrawal from GiE is received before May 31, you will receive a $300 refund.
June 8 – If written notice of withdrawal from GiE is received before June 8, you will receive a $150 refund. After this date, no refund will be offered.
