The Summer Scholars Program is your key to success in higher education.
The program is a four-week residential summer academic support program for students enrolled in The Arthur O. Eve Higher Education Opportunity Program (HEOP).
The program offers the opportunity to learn what you need to know in order to be successful in class.
