Qualifications for Acceptance

The University of Richmond’s Summer Scholars Program is for high school students who have completed their sophomore or junior year and have a competitive grade point average. To benefit from this program you will be a student who has a strong record of achievement and enjoy the challenge of a rewarding but intensive academic program. We will make sure that you have plenty of opportunity to make friends, have fun and thoroughly enjoy the program, but the focus of Summer Scholars is on the academic content. Come prepared to work and gain the well deserved rewards!

We think you will know if you are qualified for this program, but we will be asking for a letter of recommendation from your high school faculty or administrative staff, as well as a transcript to demonstrate outstanding academic achievement throughout your high school years. We want you with us! This is an exciting and rewarding program, but we want to be sure you can enjoy your studies and still have energy for all the fun!
