Join the University of Minnesota’s Under the Hood Summer Program.
Support high school students through sponsorship opportunities that help provide meals, materials, scholarships, and industry engagement experiences during our summer program.
Our sponsors play a vital role in making this program accessible, engaging, and impactful for participating students. Through financial support and industry involvement, partners help provide the resources, experiences, and connections that enrich the student experience while demonstrating a shared commitment to developing future talent in AI, technology, and data science.
We offer multiple opportunities for organizations to support the program and engage directly with students throughout their learning journey.
Fueling Our Students: We invite you to sponsor our daily meals and refreshments:
Lunch Sponsor: $1,000/day for any number of days.
Breakfast Sponsor: $2,000 for the duration of the program.
Snack Break Sponsor: $200 covering both weeks of the program.
Company Presence & Swag: As a sponsor, you are welcome to provide company information and branded swag to be distributed directly to our students.
Brand Visibility: Your company logo will be prominently displayed on our website and featured on-site during the day(s) you sponsor.
Direct Engagement: We would love to host representatives from your team as guest speakers or panelists. This is a fantastic way for your staff to share their expertise, highlight industry career paths, and connect directly with motivated students.
We welcome the opportunity to explore a partnership with your organization. To learn more about sponsorship opportunities and ways to engage with our students, please contact our Managing Director, Hayley Borck, at borck@umn.edu.
