Cerner Scholars, a Summit Technology Academy "signature program", provides technology-savvy juniors and seniors with an opportunity to earn 1.5 hours of high school credit while working at one of the Cerner campuses in the KC metro area during the school day.   This is a very unique and excellent opportunity for those students who are passionate about technology (software development, networks, scripting, etc.) to gain exposure to the industry and apply what they have learned in the classroom.  There is NO requirement that they attend Summit Tech, but they must have some formal technical training (PLTW, other technology classes your school may offer) and meet the other requirements for entrance into the program.  There may be a few non-IT positions available for students who are strong in math with a passion for data analytics/business.
 
Prerequisites:
  • Grade: 11 or 12
  • Unweighted GPA of 3.0 or better
  • 95% attendance
  • Gained technical skills and experience at sending school or in an STA program as a junior.
  • Completed application approved by counselor and teacher/supervisor

Apply online at: https://www.raytownschools.org/herndon

DEADLINE IS FEBRUARY 1ST
