Summer Programs

im thinkin about doin some kind of summer enrichment this summer, & i was wondering if any of yall, knew any HBCU's with summer programs, i know UMD has the Young Scholars program, & so do alot of other PWI's but im really tryna go to an HBCU for the summer, so if any of yall know of anything plz reply PS: oh yea i know Hampton has Pre-College, but im not old enough, but im interested in a program like the one @ Hampton

Have you thought about Upward Bound, a lot of HBCUs offer that in the summer time. You take classes and get to stay on campus. Among other things I presume.

thanks for the reply! correct me if i'm wrong, but i thought upward bound, was for low income or first generation families????

Hmm, Im not even sure. You may have to look that up.

Hmmm I think upward bound is for the less fortunate but I'm not a 100%. I know my half sister went and she was living with our elderly grandmother and my aunt pulled some strings so she could go but I'm not 100% on that one. But what grade are you in because I know a lot of schools have pre-college but I'm guessing you're still in high school. I know the Community College in my county has summer enrichment programs they're not for credits or anything though. I also know a classmate of mine did a program at Spelman and she had just finishedher junior year and that was for credits ... Hope something helped a lil.

im a sophmore, & i did look up upward bound....but im not elligible Eligibility Who May Apply(by category): Institutions of Higher Education, Other Organizations and/or Agencies Who May Apply(specifically): Institutions of higher education, public and private agencies and organizations, or a combination of these, and in exceptional circumstances, secondary schools, are eligible to apply. Students must have completed the 8th grade, be between the ages of 13 and 19 (except veterans), and have a need for academic support in order to pursue a program of postsecondary education. All students must be either from low-income families or be potential first-generation college students. The program requires that two-thirds of the participants in a project must be both low-income and potential first-generation college students. The remaining one-third must be either low-income or potential first-generation college students. Students are selected based on recommendations from local educators, social workers, clergy, or other interested parties.

Check Xavier University, Morehouse, Spelman and Tuskegee.

thank you!

Upward Bound is great! College of Charleston UB!!!

Tuskegee has a few programs during the summer. Pm if you want further information. I think they are focused around the sciences and engineering.
