The Office of Secondary Education for Migrant Youth (SEMY) compiles and disseminates information to assist students in reaching their goals. We research and target opportunities for students who specifically qualify under Title I Migrant Education guidelines and/or who may be first generation, college bound migrant students. In addition, we advocate with corporate and higher education sponsors to offer opportunities, scholarships, or funding for migrant student (grades 6-12) participation in areas of special interest. The opinions expressed and activities conducted through any agency referred by SEMY do not reflect the views of the Sunnyside School District, OSPI Office of Migrant and Bilingual Education or the US Department of Education, nor do they imply an endorsement.
