The Summer High School Scholars (SHSS) is an initiative that provides reduced cost and incentives to most students accepted into the program by the College as long as their Non-Matriculated Form for SHSS is submitted early. The incentive is explained more below. The Non-Matriculated Form is available HERE for Summer High School Scholars to submit.

Not only do students get an insider’s view into college life but they learn valuable skills and insights in such fields as Audio, Music, Digital Arts and Multi-Media, and the Performing Arts. Students in 11th and 12th grade earn college credits. The classes offered are college level courses that can be used when they apply to the College. A culminating event is scheduled for the end of the program. At that time, family and friends are invited to view student projects and performances.
