An amazing summer opportunity awaits those of you who do not have summer plans.
Long Island University--Brooklyn Campus is offering Tuition-Free college courses.
Applications are due next Friday, May 13th. L.I.U. will be conducting interviews
for the program in late May. Your transcript, an essay, and a letter of recommendation
need to accompany your application. So, if you are interested you will have to
act quickly. Come to the College Office and pick up an application. I will also
visit your classrooms today and on Monday to discuss this wonderful opportunity.
Summer Bridge Project - a 4 week program
is an intensive learning experience for high school students between their junior and senior years. The program helps develop five critical skill areas:
Writing
Speaking
Critical Thinking
Research
Creativity
Summer Bridge Project students will take a writing course and an arts course. Classroom experience will be enhanced by excursions
around Brooklyn. Your exploration of Brooklyn will be incorporated into your writing course and will serve as the foundation for your small
group arts project. At the end of the program each student group will showcase their work. In the past, projects have focused on Dance, Ceramics, Printmaking, Video or Film, and Bookmaking. Keep in mind that you will register for a course and earn three college credits. Successful
completion of the Summer Bridge Project makes you eligible to enroll in two tuition-free college courses during the regular academic year.
ELIGIBILITY:
High school junior
Overall average of 78% to 87% (C+ and B+).
You need to be eager, work well in
groups and be ready to work hard.
make summer something special!
