Summer Opportunities
Over the summer many colleges offer opportunities for students to take courses from their professors, and sometimes even live on the campus to get a real feel for college life. You can search for high school student summer opportunities by looking at individual college sites.
If interested in a summer educational opportunity, it is recommended you search in the fall because many applications are due in late winter or early spring.
Note: Programs may cost money to attend, however, if you cannot afford a program you can reach out to see if there are scholarship opportunities.
An additional location to find summer opportunities is on the College Corner site supported by the SRHS Foundation.
