2/2 Swarthmore College (fly-in) opportunity
If you are interested in this opportunity, please see your GLC so they can nominate you. (GLC's, email was sent out with nomination information on 2/2/24)
Greetings from Swarthmore College! We hope this message finds you and your loved ones safe and well.
We are one of the nation’s top liberal arts and engineering colleges and would love to partner with you in promoting college access and affordability. We are reaching out to share that we are now accepting nominations for our all-expenses-paid fly-in program Discover Swarthmore, which could be an exciting opportunity for your students. Discover Swarthmore was designed to level the playing field for students who may not be able to visit our campus in person without financial assistance, or have other obstacles on their path to college. Nominations are due Saturday, June 15, 2024.
What is a fly-in program, and why should you nominate students?
Rising high school seniors stay on a college campus for a few days and get a taste of the college experience — meeting current students and professors, eating in the dining hall, and spending a few nights in college dorms with student hosts — with all expenses paid by Swarthmore.
Not only do students get a glimpse of college life, but they also gain valuable information about college admissions and financial aid from experts. Fly-in programs are also a helpful way to see if a specific college is the right fit for them.
Discover Swarthmore Nomination and Selection Criteria:
While the Fall 2024 program dates have not yet been finalized, we typically offer two Discover Swarthmore programs, in mid-September and late October, to give students maximum flexibility. Last fall, our on-campus programs took place during the last weekends of September and October.
During our review, the selection committee prioritizes applications from students who are:
• First generation in their family to attend college
• Low-income students (Pell-eligible, free/reduced lunch, etc.), and students who might not otherwise be able to afford a trip to campus
• Rural and small town students
• Undocumented and DACA-eligible students
2/21 Tufts' fly-in program Voices of Tufts, our signature fall fly-in program, is designed to provide seniors who attend high school in the US with firsthand exposure to diversity and community at Tufts University.
About Tufts
Tufts University is a medium-sized research university just outside of Boston, Massachusetts where students are as intellectually playful as they are powerful, and are as eager to study environmental sustainability as they are Marvel comics. Tufts University meets 100% of the demonstrated financial need of all admitted students, regardless of citizenship status. Students pursue 150+ majors, minors, and programs across our School of Arts and Sciences, School of Engineering, and School of the Museum of Fine Arts. Learn more here.
About Voices
Voices of Tufts gives high school seniors a sense of “life on the Hill” through mock classes, conversations and panels with current students, and opportunities to connect with our eight identity-based resource centers. Tufts Admissions is planning for both an in-person Voices program and a virtual Voices program to take place during fall 2024.
There is no cost to participate in Voices and, for the in-person program, Tufts Admissions will arrange for transportation at no cost for students for whom the trip to campus would be a financial hardship. Additionally, the first-year application fee will be waived for all students who are nominated for Voices and all students who apply for Voices.
Who can be nominated?
You are welcome to nominate any rising senior (current 11th graders) who attends high school in the U.S. While Voices has traditionally attracted participants with strong academic records from underrepresented backgrounds – including but not limited to students of color, first-generation college-bound students, LGBTQIA+ students, students from low-income backgrounds, students with disabilities, and students from rural communities – any student interested in learning about diversity on the Tufts campus is welcome to apply. We seek primarily to invite high-achieving students who are kind, collaborative, civically-engaged, and interested in creating a more inclusive world.
Nominations are due by June 18, 2024. All nominated students will be contacted directly and encouraged to apply for Voices once the program application opens in April. See your GLC for a nomination.

2/2 University of Chicago summer pre-college program
The University of Chicago’s summer pre-college programs draw from the multidisciplinary emphasis and intellectual richness of the College’s Core curriculum. We offer a variety of courses in diverse subject areas and engagement levels that match any motivated high school student. For Summer 2024, we will host both residential programs and online courses, including:
• Enrichment Programs: With enhanced financial support to cover program costs, talented and motivated students have the opportunity to reside on campus and benefit from co-curricular programming to prepare them for the highly selective admissions process while learning about topics like economics, freedom of expression, leadership, or quantum physics. Some programs seek a nomination from a teacher or counselor, so if you know of a talented student who would benefit from an opportunity like this, we invite you to nominate them now!
• Immersion: Through workshop discussions, research projects, and other activities, students live on campus and immerse themselves within a specific topic through three-week-long undergraduate-level courses for pre-college students designed by UChicago faculty and instructors. Course subjects include astrophysics, biotechnology, coding, data science, economics, literature, molecular engineering, political science, psychology, and more.
• Pre-College Connect: New this year! Students can take a remotely taught online course for two weeks and then cap off the course by spending one week on our campus to experience residential life and meet their classmates and instructor in person!
Outside of the Enrichment Programs, all Summer Session students can apply for need-based financial aid, including full scholarships. Enrolled Summer Session students can participate in the Admissions Academy, a series of workshops that focus on the holistic admissions process to provide insights on admissions to highly selective colleges and universities and offer essay writing tips.
Students should apply by March 5th for the best selection of courses! To make it easier for you to share information with students, we've also created hand-outs to print and share so students can learn about either the Enrichment Programs or Summer Session generally. More information about our Summer Session programs and the unique intellectual experiences available to high school students can be found on our website, summer.uchicago.edu, and we're always happy to help answer questions at

2/6 Congresswoman Michelle Eunjoo Park Steel's campaign internship program
We are pleased to announce the 4th annual political interns’ program for motivated high school students.
The Michelle Steel for Congress campaign is looking to bring in students who are eager to learn the political process and democracy in action. Interns will get a hands-on experience into what goes into a campaign, why it is imperative for people to be civically engaged, and most of all, students will be able to interact and collaborate with politically interested students from across Los Angeles and Orange Counties. Upon completion of their internship experience, students will also receive a letter of recommendation from (incumbent) Congresswoman Steel. We have welcomed students from all over Los Angeles and Orange Counties including Brea Olinda, Buena Park, Calvary Chapel, Cerritos, Chino Hills, Corona del Mar, Diamond Bar, Edison, El Dorado, Fountain Valley, Fullerton, Gahr, Gretchen Whitney, Los Alamitos, Middle College, Montebello, Norwalk, Ocean View, Orange Lutheran, Oxford, Portola, Sage Hill, Sante Fe, Savanna Servite, Torrance, Troy, and Walnut High Schools.
Attached is the program outline and application for potential interns.
7/7 Congresswoman Young Kim for Congress campaign internship program is a great opportunity for students to learn about the political process and get experience working on one of the top congressional races in the country!
I wanted to reach out about an opportunity for college and high school students to participate as an intern on a local congressional campaign for Congresswoman Young Kim’s reelection in California’s 40th Congressional District. We offer flexible shifts (in-person is preferred, but we have remote/hybrid opportunities as well) out of our campaign office located at 3532 E. Chapman Ave. Orange, CA 92869. We really like to highlight the aspects of the internship that focus on learning what a congressional election is, why it matters and the voter engagement process. This internship is a great opportunity to complement any government/politics courses or social science courses.
An added benefit of this internship for young people is the confidence boosting aspect it does for those that are more shy or anxious about social interaction or public speaking. We have seen several interns become a lot more confident as they have interned with the campaign so far this year, and this is just an added benefit.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our team by emailing me back directly or give us a phone call at 714-497-0836. Please visit our website
https://youngkimforcongress.com/ as well if you would like to learn more about the Congresswoman’s reelection campaign.
