Affordable Summer Programs
Expanding college access to communities that have been historically under-represented in higher education is a shared goal among Coalition schools. Many of our members provide pre-college summer opportunities with financial aid available.
Explore these links to learn more about each school’s affordable summer programming designed to promote access to higher education. Remember, as a student, participating in a pre-college summer program is a great way to further explore your interests, get a taste of what it is like to be a college student, visit a college campus, and even boost your academic profile.
