Enrichment Opportunities & Summer Programs

While we are not endorsing any particular program, we hope you will be able to use these websites to help with your search.  Opportunity & program applications typically become available in late fall.  Most programs require work and effort on the student’s part, i.e. essays, high school resume, counselor statement, recommendations, etc.  Some have strict requirements, i.e. age, grade level, gender, GPA, PSAT score, ethnic group, etc.  Some will cost money while others may be free.  Scholarships may be available as well.  Please be cognizant of deadlines. 

**Please note that program content, availability, contact information, length of time, and cost may vary year to year. Please check with the summer program to determine the most current information. Thanks**
