Online Summer Programs from Stanford Pre-Collegiate Studies

 

Dear All,

As a high school counselor, you are an invaluable resource to your students as they plan for the future. If you are looking for opportunities to keep your students engaged in their education this summer, we invite you to explore Stanford Pre-Collegiate Studies programs.

Stanford Pre-Collegiate Studies strives to enhance the education of motivated, intellectually curious, pre-college students. This summer we are offering several online academic enrichment programs, and we hope you will share these programs with your students as they make plans for the summer.

Our programs feature a wide variety of disciplines—including business, computer science, humanities, math, science, social justice, and more—allowing students to investigate advanced topics beyond the typical high school curriculum. Students engage in discussion-based online classes with instructors who are scholars in their fields and passionate about teaching.

Please direct students to our website to learn more about our diverse program offerings. You can also share this digital flyer with your students at St. Peters Preparatory School so they can explore our summer program opportunities.

Applications are now open, and the deadline to apply for all programs is March 15, 2022. Financial aid is available.

We appreciate all that you do to support your students, and we hope that they will apply to join us online this summer.

Sincerely,
Stanford Pre-Collegiate Studies Team

Bentley University "Admission 101"

 

Greetings from Bentley University! Our “Admission 101: Guiding you through the College Admission Process” series continues with a blog post on acing the college interview. The college interview, whether in person or virtual, is a great opportunity for students to share more about themselves, and it then allows admission counselors to outline how their school might be a good match for them. We talked to the experts on our admission team to get their thoughts on what makes a winning interview, and what your students can do to stand out. Check it out today! We hope this information, and our entire Admission 101 series, gives you another tool for helping your students’ college search stay on schedule. Thank you for all you do. Interested in sharing these tips with your students? Download thisPDF! Thank you for all you do. Donna M. Kendall Associate Vice President of Enrollment and Dean of Undergraduate Admission
