About the Program - It's never too early to get ready for college
For 36 years, Lebanon Valley College has offered a one-week, non-credit program that enables exceptional high school students to preview college life. At the Daniel Fox Youth Scholars Institute, they come to campus to take an intensive workshop in the sciences, social sciences, or humanities.
Youth Scholars are selected on the basis of their academic performance and intellectual curiosity. Participants complete challenging academic activities, investigate career opportunities, learn how to successfully navigate the social side of college life, and demonstrate to others their firm interest in higher education.
Beyond preparing students for collegiate life, the YSI program develops students' future interests in their selected disciplines. Past participants have entered careers involving school counseling, clinical psychology, veterinary medicine and pharmaceutical research and many have expressed the impact of the program on their lives.
" The Youth Scholars faculty opened up a world of possibilities and choices in a way that my high school
experiences simply couldn't. During Youth Scholars week, I could envision myself, for the first time,
having a career in scientific research."
" As a high school student, the Youth Scholars Institute helped me to decide what college major to
pursue and which college to attend."
Youth Scholars work closely with College faculty members. They are encouraged to make use of the College's well-equipped science laboratories, computer labs, library, and athletic facilities. There are supervised social activities and off-campus trips, including sports, swimming parties, dances, movies, and an outing to nearby Hersheypark.
The cost for the week-long program is $485 and includes room, board, classes, and extracurricular activities.
