Not included in the $2,350 are personal expenses, such as long distance phone calls or spending money during field trip excursions.

Full payment for the program must be submitted by Wednesday, June 30. Payments may be made via cash, check, or on-line with the Office of the Bursar. Select the "Make Payment" option for the on-line payment screen and following directions. A form for making the deposit and final payments will be sent to students upon acceptance. Limited scholarships are available on a first-applied, first-considered basis.

Admission Process and Criteria

Students wishing to apply for admission to the Jump Start program may do so with the on-line application. There is no application fee, however, upon notification of acceptance a non-refundable $500 deposit will be required to secure your place in the program; the deposit amount will be applied towards the Jump Start program fee.

Applications received by March 1, 2010 will receive priority consideration. Students should receive notification regarding acceptance within two weeks of submitting a complete set of application materials. Students will be admitted to their desired choice of academic program according to the date they are accepted and whether space is still available in that program. In the event a desired program is filled, a student will be admitted to their second choice.

Students must have a minimum high school grade point average of 3.0. A letter of support from the student's high school counselor is required. Please contact Summer Sessions for more information.
