SCA Scholars participate in a rigorous summer residential experience followed by monthly events throughout high school. SCA focuses its recruitment on students who will be the first in their family to attend college and who may lack the resources in their home, school, or community to fully prepare to enroll in a top college or university. During the two-week Summer Residential program students live among their peers and further their academic preparation by exploring issues of race, class, and gender through the four major areas of study (fine arts, humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences). Following the Summer Residential Program, SCA Scholars take part in additional events and activities throughout high school including book clubs, science research opportunities, SAT/ACT preparation classes, and field trips. As seniors, SCA Scholars receive individualized assistance in the college application process. For more information, visit:
