High Schoolers –
Join the Summer Scholar Program!
Designed especially for college-bound high schoolers, the Summer Scholar Program at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa campus provides participants with the opportunity to experience college study, earn college credits, and move ahead of other college-bound students, all during six short weeks in the summer.
Over the past 17 years, hundreds of high school participants in our Summer Scholar Program have discovered that summer is the ideal time to:
- sample an academic area that interests you;
- strengthen your basic writing, math, or speech skills in preparation for your college career;
- begin to fulfill UHM core requirements;
- meet other students;
- explore the UHM campus and its many resources with the assistance of our Summer Scholar coordinator.
The college environment also promotes personal growth. Take this time to discover new interests, develop strategies for dealing with the intense and unique demands of a college career, and explore the unlimited potential that you possess.
