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.
