Summer Scholars Program attracts gifted high school students nationwide July 12 - 31 Parents, schools and community leaders may nominate academically gifted incoming high school juniors and seniors for the opportunity to attend PLU's Summer Scholars Program, which has been a popular offering at PLU since 1983. The students can choose either science or creative writing classes where they spend six hours each weekday and subsequently earn four college credits. Although the emphasis is on nurturing leadership among young Lutherans of diverse backgrounds, members of other worshipping communities are welcome. The new program is a rich mix of stimulating speakers, practical workshops, cross-cultural sharing, lively worship and a fiesta. The program, sponsored by PLU and ELCA, is open to those entering ninth grade to young adulthood.
Scholarships are also available.
