Summer
Scholars
Do you want to get a taste of college before it's time to
go? If you answered yes, we have the perfect opportunity for
you!
I KNOW I CAN's Summer Scholars program provides Columbus City
School District students the opportunity to spend a summer of
learning and discovery on a college campus. These programs enable
students to experience college life, participate in educational
activities and learn more about themselves.
Summer Scholar participants are identified with the help
of guidance counselors and classroom teachers. Students are
selected for talent in a specific area as well as high achievement
across all curriculum areas.
Financial assistance and application fee waivers are available.
The Summer Scholar grants are given to award individual excellence
and initiative. Preference for grants is given to students whose
family incomes would preclude their attendance at such institutions.
