Summer Programs

The Launch Program offers two summer programs for recent high school graduates transitioning to college. These programs are designed and coordinated by our Transition Specialist.

Summer Bridge

Held in early June, starting summer 2012
In this two-week, residential program participants will gain essential skills for transition to college, college success, and career goal attainment. Activities will include orientation to college, outdoor learning experiences, family participation, career exploration, and native culture connections. This program is FREE to participants including room/board and two meals per day. Participants earn three college credits upon completion of the program. Participants must be recent high school or GED graduates at least 18 years of age.

Summer Science Academy

Held June-August, starting summer 2011
During this 8-week program, participants will experience learning at its best through attending highly coordinated and supported courses with many experiential learning opportunities. Activities will include site-based lessons and field trips, evening/weekend events, family participation, service learning, native culture connections, networking, and community building. Participants will earn 4 college level science credits and 3 learning support credits. Participants will be responsible for the cost of tuition and books as well as daily transportation and meals. Transportation and meals are provided only for field trips and special events. Financial assistance may be available for those who qualify.

 

This program is funded through a U.S. Department of Education TITLE III NASNTI grant of $1.9 million over 5 years, and 100% grant funded for the first 2 years.
