**Announcement: College Horizons 2011 – Student Applications Available for Download in October!**
Dear Students, Parents and Counselors,
College Horizons is excited to kick-off their fall recruitment season and would like to invite current 10th and 11th grade American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian students to apply to our CH 2011 summer program! College Horizons is a pre-college program where 90 students work with 60 college admissions officers, college counselors, essay specialists, and other educators in a six-day “crash course” focused on helping students navigate the college application process.
This coming summer, College Horizons will offer 2 programs with the possibility of a third. We are proud to partner with and be hosted by:
••Colorado State University (Ft. Collins, CO): June 12-June 17, 2011 (Sun-Fri)
••University of Rochester (Rochester, NY); June 26-July 1, 2011 (Sun-Fri)
••Possible Third Site – TBD, Mid-October.
The application and information on applicant eligibility is provided at: www.collegehorizons.org. The application will be available by mid-October. The deadline for application submission is February 14, 2011. Please note that new this year, there is only one deadline instead of two. Since programs tend to fill up quickly, it is highly recommended to postmark applications by the deadline. However, late applications will be accepted as space remains available and will only be reviewed after those that arrived on time. Finally, as a reminder, College Horizons has significant financial aid available (covering tuition and airfare) for students who qualify, last year they awarded $55,000 in financial aid!
Each year, 99% of College Horizons participants go on to college; 95% typically attend four-year institutions and a third of our participants matriculate into highly selective institutions. Moreover, 85% of our alumni graduate from college within five years!
Help us get the word out on the CH 2011 programs and forward this email on to any students, parents or educators whom may be interested. Please see the attached flyer for a brief description of our program and please feel free contact us if you have any questions!
