During high school, each Summer Search student receives a full scholarship to participate in two summer trips designed to broaden their world, open up the realm of possibility, teach them life skills, and help them realize their potential. Summer experiences occur after sophomore and junior years, and range from wilderness experiences, to educational enrichment programs, or international programs, community service in a developing country. Students have access to ongoing and individualized college advising support, as well as workshops designed to prepare them for college. This is critical as the majority of these students are first-generation college students. Summer Search alumni have access to life skill workshops, internships and ongoing support.
