Summer College offers a range of immersive programs that allow high school students to gain real-world skills and enhance their professional portfolio.

Established in partnership with the Campos Foundation and the Office of Pre-College Programs, the scholarship builds on two years of previous support and aims to empower high school students enrolled in pre-college courses in the IT and engineering spaces. In 2022 and 2023, the scholarship supported a total of 59 students.

“Students leave Summer College with a fresh outlook and a better understanding of who they are and the goals they want to achieve,” says Christopher Cofer, executive director of the Office of Pre-College Programs. “The Campos Foundation Scholarship offers access to a transformative experience.”

Marco Campos P’25, founder of the Campos Foundation, says he aims to “level the playing field” for first-generation students and offer more opportunities for students of all backgrounds.

“This program offers students the opportunity to have exposure to networking and a college environment,” Campos says. “We want to help move the needle for students in the world of STEM.”

Summer College offers a range of immersive programs that allow high school students to gain real-world skills and enhance their professional portfolio. Students who meet the criteria for the scholarship and are enrolled in the College of Engineering and Computer Science or School of Information Studies classes are automatically considered for the scholarship.

“My experience was fun, eye-opening, and a roller coaster,” says Sylvia, a Campos Foundation Scholarship recipient previously enrolled in a Summer College biomedical engineering course. “This experience made me more excited to go to college because it proved to me that I have what it takes. I am so thankful to the people who helped make this possible.”
