<p>we should compile a list of free summer programs (e.g. rsi/ ssp/ nih/ ect)
If you know any other free summer programs, post here.
Also, how selective are these programs (percentage wise) and are there any programs that are not too late to apply for?</p>
<p>TASS- for rising juniors, highly selective 6 week residential writing/humanities program sponsored by Telluride. Too late to apply for 09, Applications available on the Telluride Association website in late November/early December.</p>
<p>TASP-for rising seniors, very highly selective (under 10%) humanities program sponsored by Telluride. Too late to apply for 09, Applications available on the Telluride Association website in late November/early December.</p>

<p>Mit summer classes for high school students. Enrollment just opened. See the educational studies program (esp) on the mit website. Sunday program is $30. Evening program is $600. </p>
<p>Seap enrollment deadline was back in january.</p>
<p>Rule of thumb - know what competitive programs you are going to apply to by thanksgiving. Write the applications of christmas break. Most all deadlines are january/february; last minute applications are a big mistake.</p>
<p>the MIT p\classes are taught by students and are not particularly rigorous -they’re intended for local kids to have something to do</p>
<p>[Seidenberg</a> School Summer Experience - Pace University](<a href=“http://seidenberg.pace.edu/summerscholars/]Seidenberg”>http://seidenberg.pace.edu/summerscholars/)</p>
<p>is also free and seems pretty cool.</p>
<p>I feel like about 439769 of these threads have been started and none of them is really complete–maybe a mod should sticky one of them to make it a more easily accessible resource?</p>
