on-campus, residential college experience for high school students
Rising juniors and seniors across Christina School District may now apply to a landmark, student-focused program that will be offered this summer at the University of Delaware. Designed to prepare students for the challenges of college, forty-eight students from Christina School District will:
- Engage in daily, interactive sessions focused on Math, SAT Prep, and Academic Skills to Succeed in College
- Participate in daily workshops to increase each student's ability to overcome obstacles and solve problems (i.e., student resilience or "grit"), and
- Live in a dorm with roommates for two weeks and learn relevant life lessons.
This exciting UD course, entitled College Readiness Scholar Institute, will run from August 3-18. The College Readiness Scholar Institute is a sixteen-day overnight program where students gain necessary first-hand knowledge on the academic, interpersonal, and residential components for college success.
Approximately forty-eight students will participate in the summer course. The Christina School District will cover all student expenses except for a non-refundable $25 application fee. All interested, eligible students must apply to be considered. Preference will be given to applicants who are first generation college-goers and/or from households of modest income. The application packet is now available at each high school. Students are strongly encouraged to invest in themselves and apply. All applications are due by Friday, May 10.
