H/Giving to Da Vinci Science Center/Linny Fowler Science Inquiry Fund

The Linny Fowler Science Inquiry Fund provides need- and interest-based scholarships to students for Center School Field Trips, Outreach Programs, Summer Camps, and other experiences.

Inquiry Fund scholarships provide students opportunities to explore science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) subjects and careers. The Science Inquiry Fund is supported primarily by special pledge appeal gifts made during the Da Vinci Science Center’s annual gala. Additional gifts from individuals, groups, and companies can be made by contacting the Center’s Development office.
