COLLEGE
PREP

The Office of Pre-College Programs offers learning and leadership opportunities for high school students and provides them with practical tools for navigating the college application process.

The office sponsors three major initiatives:

• Summer in New York City offers one-week and four-week programs where students from across the country and around the world take college-level courses and explore New York City.
  
  
• College Planning Weekend teaches students and their families in the tri-state area about how to choose a college, financial aid, and writing an application essay.
  
  
• Finally, the Young Women's Leadership Institute provides leadership training to high school students.
