Valdés Math receives financial support from participating school districts, local governments, foundations, corporations, and individual donors to enable students from low-income families to participate in our summer math program.

Scholarships are awarded to students whose families meet low-income guidelines. Participation is also dependent on the number of available seats. Participating school districts are allocated seats in our summer classrooms for their respective students, and, should there be any open seats, we will allocate each available seat to one of our eligible families. If seats are not available, then scholarship students are placed on a class waiting list until seats become available, at which time we will offer those seats to our eligible families. Thus, summer placement is predicated on classroom seat availability.

Scholarship opportunities are on a first-come, first-served basis. To request additional information, please contact Mr. Bob Turner, the Director of Educational Programs, at: bob.turner@josevaldesmath.org

1. 90% refund for written requests submitted at or more than 30 days before the start of the program. Please note that an administrative fee of 10% will be automatically deducted;

2. 50% refund for written requests submitted less than 30 days prior to the program start date;

3. No refunds once the program begins.

All refunds are processed in the form of checks and are mailed out within four (4) to six (6) weeks upon receipt of a written refund request.

To request a refund, please contact Mr. Bob Turner, the Director of Educational Programs, at: bob.turner@josevaldesmath.org

Yes, your child will need to take a placement test prior to the start of the 2024 High-School Enrichment Program. All students, both new and returning, are required to take a placement test in order to determine/confirm enrollment in the appropriate summer course. Once the online registration has been received, the parent/guardian will be contacted by our staff as to the specific time/date of any upcoming placement testing. A student cannot “fail” these tests, since they are for placement purposes only.

The Valdés Math office sends out official summer transcripts to each respective school of record. For any reason, before the end of the summer program, the parent/guardian may contact the Valdés Math office to request a “hold” or “stop” to prevent any official summer transcript from being sent.

NOTE: For security reasons, official summer transcripts are never given to students, and they are neither mailed nor emailed to parents/guardians.

If you have any questions or concerns about this official transcript policy, then please email Mr. Bob Turner, the Director of Educational Programs, at: bob.turner@josevaldesmath.org

That depends on your school and/or district, since awarding credit is based on the internal policy of the school and/or district. It is up to the parent/guardian to follow through on math placement. We will assist if asked.

If you are looking to take an Enrichment course for high-school credit, then please check with your child’s current high-school counselor to determine how our summer course(s) will be credited as part of your child’s overall academic transcript.

Most local high-school districts have accepted our course recommendations in the past and awarded credit to students who received such recommendations from us. Please note that some high schools may use any academic grades submitted by Valdés Math for advancement/placement purposes only and will not post summer academic grades and/or credits to any official high-school transcript.
