The Summer Scholars Program is for current high school sophomores or juniors who have a minimum 3.0 grade point average, are active in their communities, leaders in their schools, and examples of integrity. Individuals should be self-motivated and prepared to study an academic discipline in a rigorous scholarly program. Both domestic and international students are welcome to apply.
Eligibility:
The Summer Scholars Program provides international students with the opportunity to study in the United States and experience college life on an American campus. While participation in the Summer Scholars Program does not guarantee admission to a college or university, the successful completion of a pre-college program demonstrates the student's potential to study in English at the university level.
All students whose native language is not English are required to submit official results of the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or the International English Language Testing System (IELTS). International students demonstrate a proficiency in English by submitting the TOEFL exam, with an Official TOEFL score report of 213 for the computer-based test, 550 for the paper test, or 80 for the internet-based test (including the speaking sub-score); or by submitting the IELTS score report with a minimum score of 6.5. UM does not accept the Institutional Testing Program (ITP) TOEFL score report.
