Students attending the 2000 Summer Program will have the opportunity to live in a college residence hall, eat in the university cafeteria, and in general explore what college life is like in a campus setting. Participants will attend sessions on chemistry, computers, various cultures, wildlife and career planning. A number of other activities are also planned for evenings. The special summer experience is designed to give students just completing the 7th grade a sense of what college can be like, but ETS staff also meet regularly with students from 6-12 grades during the academic year. Program advisers help students make informed decisions about their futures, and the opportunities available for scholarships, fellowships, loans, and other forms of financial assistance that exist.
Advisers are also available to help adult students begin or resume their college educations.
