Earlham College has been awarded a nearly $1 million grant from Lilly Endowment Inc. through its Indiana Youth Programs on Campus initiative to launch a summer immersion experience for high school students. The grant is part of a statewide investment of more than $29 million to help young people in Indiana experience higher education programs that help them explore their interests, learn new skills and envision a future for themselves in college.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Earlham Summer: A Pre-College Program for High School Students will serve up to 120 high school sophomores, juniors and seniors during two weeklong immersive experiences on campus, beginning June 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Participants will take classes led by Earlham faculty, learn about the admissions process, and stay overnight in campus residence halls. Students will also learn about new scholarship opportunities that are available to Indiana students, including INspire Earlham<\/strong><\/a>, a free tuition program for students from low- and moderate-income backgrounds.
