Test your intellect without the pressure of letter grades. Classes are non-credit, so you can take a college-level course for learning's sake.

You will be challenged by Ivy League scholars as you immerse yourself in one subject in an average class size of 15 students.

Live a balanced (college) life. When class is not in session, you'll participate in creative and social activities that stimulate your mind. And take time to have fun and get to know your peers.

Discover your passions. Whether you're undecided about potential areas of study or want to take a deeper dive into a subject you love, the Pre-College Program can help you find what really excites you.

In this collegial setting, you will practice the art of healthy debate, learning to communicate clearly and diplomatically on complex topics.

How to Apply to Harvard's Pre-College Program

Applications for Summer 2024 open on December 1.
Who Can Participate in the Pre-College Program?

Harvard's Pre-College Program is designed for mature, academically motivated students who are interested in exploring a potential major or simply finding out what college is really like.

Our Pre-College Program is open to rising juniors and seniors. To be eligible for Summer 2024, you must meet both of the following criteria:

Will graduate from high school and enter college in 2025 or 2026.

Are at least 16 years old by June 22, 2024, and will not turn 19 years old before July 31, 2024.

See the Pre-College Calendar for all important dates and deadlines.

Program Activities

In the Harvard Pre-College Program, you have the opportunity to choose from dozens of co-curricular activities to participate in each week. These opportunities help ensure that you have a well-rounded experience.

Courses at Harvard's Pre-College Program

With almost 30 courses to choose from in each session, you're sure to find a topic that piques your interest among the courses offered to Pre-College Program students.

You take one course during a session, and although courses are non-credit and do not have letter grades, they are rigorous.

At the end of the program, you'll receive a written evaluation from your instructor, as well as a Harvard transcript with a grade of AR or NM ("requirements met" or "requirements not met"). This is a great way to supplement your college application. Please note: You need to attend every class in its entirety to receive a passing grade of "Met All Requirements."

Cost & Aid

The total fee for a 2023 Harvard Pre-College Program session is $5,300. The program fee includes tuition, room and meal plan, activity costs, and an accident and sickness insurance plan for the full two weeks. There is also a non-refundable $75 application fee.

A limited number of scholarships are available to assist eligible students who demonstrate financial need. Awards vary based on need, and a typical award covers a portion of the tuition.

FAQs

How Long is Harvard's Pre-College Program?

Harvard's Pre-College Program is a two-week program during which you will live on the Harvard campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts. During these two weeks, you'll experience what it's like to live on a college campus, attending classes every day, studying, and participating in program activities. Each summer, we offer three two-week sessions so you can find the program that fits into your summer schedule.

What Will You Get Out of a Pre-College Program?

At Harvard's Pre-College Program for high school students, you'll build advanced academic skills-and amazing memories-that will last a lifetime.

You'll learn to live independently on a college campus. You'll make new friends from around the world. And with hard work and diligent study, you'll expand your knowledge in an immersive college class.

These experiences will not only enrich your high school years. They will set you on the path for success as you move onto your college journey.

At the end of the program, you'll receive a written evaluation from your instructor, as well as a Harvard transcript with a grade of AR or NM ("requirements met" or "requirements not met"). This is a great way to supplement your college application.

Can You Earn College Credit Through the Pre-College Program?

You will not earn college credit through the Pre-College Program.

The Pre-College Program is designed to allow you to explore the expectations of college academics without the pressure of grades. You can explore a subject you think you may want to major in, or you can explore an interesting topic just for fun.

However, Pre-College Program courses are intensive. Each day, you will be in class for three hours and you should expect to have 2-4 hours of homework. To successfully complete the program, you'll have to attend and participate in every class and complete all assignments.

Do Pre-College Programs Help with College Admissions?

Participation in a Pre-College Program at Harvard can help with college admissions in several important ways.

Successfully completing a pre-college program demonstrates your ability to succeed in a rigorous college course. It also shows admissions committees that you are a motivated and dedicated student who is willing to put in the extra effort to succeed.

Most importantly, however, our Pre-College Program is designed to offer you tools to navigate the college admissions process successfully.

Our college readiness activities include workshops on how to write your college admissions essay, seminars on understanding the financial aid process, and panels on how to choose the right college. We even host a series of panels with admissions officers from colleges around the country.

So when you leave the Pre-College Program, you'll be ready to jump right into the college admissions and application process.

Why Choose Harvard's Pre-College Program?

Harvard's Pre-College Program combines the hard work and rigor of an Ivy League education with the fun that comes with living, studying, and socializing with new friends.

Whether you're engaging in meaningful debate in class, sharing your skills at a talent show, or exploring the Boston area, you'll be creating memories that will last you a lifetime.

# data[].attributes.body
The seventh annual Colorado Free Application Days will be held Tuesday, Oct. 15 through Thursday, Oct. 17, 2024. All 32 public colleges and universities in Colorado and several private institutions will waive their application fees, making it free for anyone to apply. By waiving application fees—a common barrier to higher education—Colorado Free Application Days aims to improve access to further education and training, which is becoming increasingly critical in the state’s rapidly changing economy.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
To inspire more Coloradans to continue their education, all 32 public colleges and universities in Colorado and several private institutions allow students to apply for free on Tuesday, Oct. 18 - Thursday, Oct. 20, 2022 as part of the fifth annual Colorado Free Application Day$.

Colorado Free Application Day$ caps off Colorado Applies Month, a five-week campaign that guides 11th- and 12-grade students and adult job seekers along the application process.

The statewide push is designed to increase Colorado's college-going and FAFSA completion rates. Despite being one of the most educated states in the country, Colorado sent just 50.5% of 2020 high school graduates to a college, university or certificate program, and less than 50% of students submit a FAFSA application-a key indicator of students' likelihood to continue their education.

By removing barriers for students to achieve a credential, Colorado can increase the number of students who complete their programs and enter the workforce with a degree or competitive skills. Nearly 75% of Colorado jobs require a postsecondary credential. Colorado Free Application Day encourages residents to live up to their fullest potential.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO)- Community leaders from the City of Colorado Springs are looking to fill around 200 seasonal workers positions. They say applicants are down noticeably from last year.

Every year the city of Colorado Springs hires seasonal workers, however, this year, the need for those employees is high.

Seasonal workers help from March through October to keep city parks clean, up-to-date, and green. Seasonal workers also help keep recreational centers running. Currently, the city is looking for several receptionists and peer leaders to help with scheduling activities for kids inside these recreational centers and more.

The positions range in pay from 15 to 23 dollars and hour and the work schedules are all flexible.

"I think this is a great way to kind of get a career start. I actually started my career in parks when I was 12, so now I'm on the other side and so that's really awesome and is a great way to get some experience, get to go do some cool things and get back to the community," said Jeffrey Plunkett, Colorado Springs Senior Recruiter.

People can apply now or they can attend the city's job fair that is coming up. That job fair will be held next Friday, March 29th, from 10 a.m. Until 2 p.m.
at the hillside community center.

For those who would like to attend the job fair, there is no need to make an appointment beforehand, all you have to do is show up and, if you can, bring a resume.

DATES ANNOUNCED: 2023 Teen Academy Scheduled for June 12 - June 15, and June 19-22

The Pikes Peak Regional Law Enforcement Teen Academy provides young adults with a unique opportunity to learn about the operations of regional law enforcement agencies in El Paso County. The Colorado Springs Police Department and the El Paso County Sheriff's Office are the host agencies for this 4-day class.

In 2022 we had over 50 local teens attend and unfortunately had to decline to have several more who wished to attend due to staffing issues. In 2023 we are running two separate academies so we can accommodate more local teens. More information on the specific locations of the two academies will be forthcoming in the Spring of 2023!

Some of the courses will include SWAT, K-9, Explosives Unit, criminal investigations, drone presentation, search and rescue, and negotiator training.

Interested applicants must be between the ages of 13-17 to attend the class. Applicants must be El Paso County residents and currently enrolled in or recently graduated from a school in El Paso County. Please note a "Academy Participation Liability Waiver and Indemnification Agreement" must be signed in the presence of a Notary Public. Notary Public services for the Teen Academy may be obtained at any of the Colorado Springs Police Department police stations at no cost.
