Hi, I'm a high school student with an interest in going to Howard. I was just wondering if there were any summer conferences held at the school for high school students.....and just general advice on things to do and be involved in to better my chances on getting in and getting scholarships. I have a 3.8 gpa and am involved in after school activities.Thanx bunches
The summer programs vary and are based around the student's intended area of study. Some of our summer programs include:
The Center of ExcellenceSummer Enrichment Program and RecruitmentYouth Journalism Academy
The Youth Journalism Academy has offered summer programs for youth in grades nine through twelve for more than 25 years. Designed to introduce them to careers in the media, students are enrolled in two, two-week workshops in newspaper journalism and advertising. During the school year, the Academy provides communications speakers to high schools; sponsorship assistance for the Washington Association of Black Journalists’ Saturday Seminars; and career-counseling to Washington-area teenagers. Academy sponsors have included: The Washington Post, USA Today, Dow Jones Newspaper Fund, National Press Foundation, American Advertising Federation, District Two and the Michael L. Trilling Foundation.
Office of Student Services. This Office conducts three programs for high school students: the Minority Scholars Program, a joint effort with the University of Maryland (College Park) in which students receive college credit for a computer programming course taught at Maryland and an introduction to engineering course taught at Howard; and the Howard University METCON Program and the MESCO Program in which students work in engineering-related areas at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and the Department of Energy; and PEPCO, sponsors of the program.
