Nice list!

How about adding a section for the arts:

Northwestern National High School Institute
(music, journalism, speech, debate, theater, film & video)

wombatsoup · July 25, 2009, 12:48pm

Good list, one small problem with it though: TASP is a humanities program, not an english program.

Keilexandra · August 10, 2009, 10:39pm

Don’t forget about TASS, the sophomore TASP focused on African-American Studies.

Obstinate · August 11, 2009, 1:50pm

And the Carleton Liberal Arts Experience, a sophomore program that introduces African-Americans to Carleton College. Free as well.

cyberchondriac · October 3, 2009, 12:40am

really nice list thanks!

nirvanatear · October 3, 2009, 3:20pm

I think Canada/USA Mathcamp deserve the top spot in the math section. Alumni win USAMO, ISEF, Siemens on a yearly basis.

Determind15 · October 3, 2009, 7:46pm

Great list.

bump

LaurenTheMom · October 4, 2009, 6:31pm

Is anyone aware of a sophomore program (the summer after sophomore year) in the humanities that is not geared towards URMs that would be worthy of making this list?

Keilexandra · October 4, 2009, 6:37pm

^I don’t know of any, although it’s worth noting that non-URMs have gotten into TASS.

raiderade · October 4, 2009, 6:49pm

TASS doesn’t even ask applicants to specify race.

glassesarechic · October 4, 2009, 9:52pm

Interlochen!

LaurenTheMom · October 4, 2009, 11:29pm

It is true that TASS admits non-minority students. The program specifies

It looks like a great program with a very in depth focus.

Keilexandra · October 4, 2009, 11:51pm

Interlochen is more fine arts than humanities, IIRC?

itsv · October 5, 2009, 7:35pm

Notre Dame has 3 summer programs that are free, Global Issues, Latino Leadership and I can’t remember the last one. Here is the link: [Pre-College</a> Programs // University of Notre Dame](<a href=“http://precollege.nd.edu/]Pre-College”>http://precollege.nd.edu/)

LEAD SBI has programs on about 8 or 9 campus. They do have some finanical aid if you can’t pay the student contribution. The cost of the program is more than what they charge students.

LEAD has two other components, LEAD Engineering which was held this past year at Stanford. It is for rising sophmores and juniors. LEAD also has a global issues summer program. Info on all LEAD programs can be found at leadprogram.org

The Foundation for Economic Leaders has a summer program that costs very little. It is held at about 9 campuses. Here is the Link: [Foundation</a> for Teaching Economics | Students > Economics and Leadership](<a href=“http://www.fte.org/students/efl/]Foundation”>EFL - Foundation For Teaching Economics)

MyBlsflHrt · October 5, 2009, 7:38pm

I had already included LEAD and FTE in the list, but thanks for the Note Dame link. :)

glassesarechic · October 5, 2009, 8:24pm

Yeah, it’s an arts camp butttt it does have an excellent creative writing program (not like I’m an overzealous alum or anything) so I think it deserves a shout out.

Torcher · October 11, 2009, 2:37pm

Clark Scholars should be approximately fourth on the list of “Research”

MyBlsflHrt · October 12, 2009, 7:14pm

I’d say that Clark Scholars at about the same level of competitiveness as the Cornell Nanobiotechnology Center (NBTC) High School Internship Program.
