Middle school students are invited to apply to join the Summer Exploration Program, a hands-on learning experience for current sixth through eighth-graders that allows students to ignite their passion for STEM and choose their own adventure while receiving mentorship from Wake Forest staff and current undergraduate students. This summer, the Pre-College Program will offer five online adventures for middle schoolers.

High school students are invited to apply for the Summer Immersion Program, an immersive, 4-day, online experience for rising sophomores, juniors, seniors and incoming first-year college students designed to provide an introduction to college life and the opportunity to explore a potential career pathway or field of study. The program will offer twenty-one online institutes for high school students.

Pre-college students across the country are realizing that many of the summer activities they look forward to most – camp, travel, summer jobs/internships, volunteer work, and mission trips –  are canceled for this summer. If you are the parent of or know of a motivated middle or high school student who is looking for something meaningful to participate in this summer, please share this opportunity with them! We are currently accepting applications for both programs.
