Young Entrepreneurs for Leadership & Change: Summer Program for High School Students at UF
The University of Florida is pleased to announce our 2nd Annual Pre-College Summer Program for High School Students:
Sponsored by UF’s Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation, in Partnership with UF’s Center for Precollegiate Education & Training.
This program is for motivated, college-bound rising juniors and seniors who are interested in Entrepreneurship, Leadership, and Positive Social Change.
From June 29 through August 8, 2008 program participants will take two college-level courses at UF: GEB4930 - Exploring Entrepreneurship & SYG2010 - Social Problems & Solutions.
Participants will also complete 75 hours of community service (meeting the requirement for Bright Futures Scholarships). Students will participate in evening and weekend programing including a Speaker Series, mentor partnerships with Entrepreneurs and Nonprofit Leaders, field trips, visits with Gator Athletes, and other exciting events and activities. The program will culminate with an awards banquet on the final evening, recognizing the students for their leadership and entrepreneurial spirit.
Students will work, eat, play, and sleep on campus for the full duration of the program. They will be housed in Beaty Towers, near other high school students attending summer science & engineering programs. Participants will have access to the university’s facilities including a newly renovated library, student union and arts center, and many state of the art recreation and sports facilities (including three fitness facilities, nine fields, two pools, six outdoor court facilities, and a gym).
Space is still available. Interested students are encouraged to apply as soon as possible. Applications will be reviewed and applicants will be invited on a rolling basis beginning March 1, 2008 and accepted until the program is full.
