"GW Summer Scholars encourages high school students to discover and develop their talents through unique learning experiences guided by engaging faculty at The George Washington University. Choose the 6-week program for college credit or the compressed
10-day mini-courses to investigate a topic of interest. Both programs provide an exceptional opportunity for international students and US citizens living abroad to experience GW and discover Washington, D.C.
The 6-week program is open to students finishing their junior year in high school. Students enroll in an introductory college level course with GW undergraduates, as well as a writing seminar. Outside the classroom students participate in enrichment activities such as seminars and workshops that deepen their understanding of the collegiate setting and Washington, D.C. The 6-week program application deadline for US Citizens is April 15, 2009. The deadline for international students is March 1, 2009. International students who are accepted into the 6-week program will receive an I-20 letter for applying for an F-1 visa.
The 10-day mini-courses create an intensive hands-on experience for students
completing grades 9 – 11. Highly interactive seminars and daily field trips provide a balance of academic rigor and fun for the students who are interested in exploring a particular field. This year’s mini-courses are: Biomedical Engineering, Photojournalism, Election Politics, Environmental Studies, Museum Studies, US Foreign Policy, Interior Design, Law and Evidence, and Very Practical Politics. The mini-course application deadline for US citizens and international students is April 30, 2009.
The resources of Washington, D.C., are an integrated part of Summer Scholars’ academic learning. Students enjoy both an urban college experience at the Foggy Bottom campus as well as a residential environment at the Mount Vernon campus in northwestern DC. Although participation in Summer Scholars does not imply admission to GW, Summer Scholars gives students first-hand knowledge to assist them in making a future college decision.
Summer Scholars offers an unmatched learning experience in one of the world’s most culturally vibrant cities, providing the first steps toward a successful college career. Interested students may obtain an application by visiting www.summerscholars .gwu.edu or by contacting our office at 202-242-6802 or scholars@gwu. edu.
Sincerely,
Barbara Frank, Director
