Young Scholars Program for High School Students
June 18 - July 25, 2025
Become a Young Scholar
Highly-motivated students going into their junior or senior year of high school have the opportunity to explore college in an intensive summer program that includes university courses, advising, and meetings with key people on campus. In addition to college credit (upon successful completion of their classes), students leave with a hands-on experience of college life. Students are required to attend every class meeting. Travel and other summer programs must not occur during the dates of the Young Scholars Program.
We will occasionally send you updates about the Young Scholars Program.
