Reasonably priced and/or merit-based programs?

Pre-College Issues Summer Programs
1

<p>I'm looking into some summer programs. The ones at prestigious colleges seem incredibly overpriced and like anyone who "applies" early can get in.
Does anyone know of reasonably priced and/or merit-based programs, particularly in the humanities? I'm interested in writing, law, philosophy, journalism, politics and history.
I already know about TASP, but other scholarship programs would be cool.
Thanks for your suggestions!</p>

<p>Do a search for posts by Keilexandra. Her posts were a tremendous resource for our family.</p>

<p>If you are a Central NY state resident, CNYAHEC has a nice & inexpensive program held at Ithaca College to explore health care careers. It is only 1 week, so I’d imagine not too in-depth.</p>

<p>Also, I don’t know in the current economy, but many of the “elite” New England boarding schools have programs with generous financial aid (Exeter, North Mount Hermon).</p>
