If you're looking for something to do this summer, you might want to consider taking a class on a college campus. While some of these programs can be pricey, many also offer scholarships and financial aid, and the program at Lipscomb University in Nashville is very reasonable!
Washington University in St. Louis offers several cool options: the five week high school summer scholars program where you can take undergraduate courses for credit or the non-credit summer institutes for students interested in pre-medicine, pre-engineering, writing, global leadership and more. For more information, visit summerexperiences.wustl.edu
Smith College in Massachusetts also offers some outstanding programs specifically for girls. We've had several GPS students attend the summer science and engineering program, and they also offer a writing workshop along with programs in women's history and field studies for sustainable futures. Applications can be submitted online at smith.edu/summer.
If you're interested in going out to the west coast, the University of Southern California has a variety of programs for rising sophomores, juniors, and seniors. There are two and four week courses in subjects ranging from architecture, journalism, performing arts, visual arts, writing, science, global studies, business, and engineering. You can also find a program in pre-health and pre-law. Visit http://summer.usc.edu/index.shtml for more information.
Closer to home, rising juniors can get a taste of college-level coursework and earn college credit at Lipscomb University in Nashville. This year's offerings include Fundamentals of Biology, Intro to Psychology, Foundations of Business, Introduction to Communication, Fundamentals of Photography, and a Freshman Seminar on the Humanities. All students accepted into the Summer Scholars Program will receive a scholarship covering the entire cost of their coursework. The only expense will be a $750 program fee to cover the cost of room, board, and activities while in Nashville. Now that's a good deal!! You can find all the details at http://bit.ly/1BFlnrv
If you're interested in business, last year UTC offered a six day residential program on its campus that you might want to check out. Alex George, class of '15 attended the inaugural program and thought it was a great experience. This year's information is not up yet, but stay tuned for more information or check out last year's program at http://bit.ly/1KhCsh5
