Summer Opportunities

Summer programs on college campuses offer students the opportunity to explore new interests, strengthen skills, and meet other students with similar goals and interests. Opportunities range from pre-college programs in specific academic areas, to college-level coursework, to sports clinics, to internships and research opportunities. Many college campuses throughout the United States have summer programs. The following list is just a few of the opportunities available for students. We encourage you to go to the web sites for additional information and application materials.
