Gifts to Tapia Center contribute to...
The Tapia Center's mission is to empower students to pursue education and careers in STEM. To this end, we deliver the award-winning Tapia STEM Camps to hundreds of K-12 students annually. One of the best parts of camp is that it is staffed by undergrad and grad students, primarily from Rice!
Our center was founded by Dr. Richard Tapia, and it honors his extensive contributions in education and outreach. Donors like you have made these programs possible. Your generous gift will:
- Provide opportunities for Rice undergraduate and graduate students to strengthen their mentorship and teaching skills as they work with hundreds of K-12 students.
- Provide scholarships for our one-week STEM Camps for deserving K-12 students in Texas and beyond.
- Keep Dr. Tapia’s legacy alive by supporting the rest of our efforts to make STEM fields accessible to all.
