Summer Scholars Program

What is The Summer Scholars Program?
The Summer Scholars Program is geared toward enhancing the preparation for college and academic success of rising juniors, rising seniors and graduating seniors in selected area school districts. This year the six week summer program will commence on June  14th and end on July 23rd. The program’s operational hours are 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., Monday thru Friday.

Admission for graduating high school seniors is limited to students who have matriculated to the university prior to the commencement of the summer program. Graduating seniors who successfully complete the program (with A's in both classes) will be offered admission to one of the University Honors programs.

Cleveland State University faculty respected for their teaching excellence will lead the program. The main purpose of the program is to enhance pre-existing skills and to assist in easing the transition from high school level course work to college level course work. Students will be exposed to the realities of college life and be introduced to various college survival skills and techniques. Students who participate in the program will be better prepared for the academic years ahead.

The program is free for admitted students. The program will supply all textbooks and a calculator.  Participants successfully completing the program with perfect attendance will be allowed to keep the calculator. Participants are responsible for transportation to and from the University each day.
