[nativestudies-l] FW: College Horizons 2011 - Summer Pre-College Workshop for Native American Students

[Lowe, Shelly C]

**Announcement: College Horizons 2011 - Student Applications Available
for Download in October!**

 

Dear Students, Parents and Counselors,

 

College Horizons is excited to kick-off our 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 on
our website at: www.collegehorizons.org
<http://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 our programs tend to fill up quickly, it is
highly recommended to postmark your application 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, we have significant financial aid available (covering
tuition and airfare) for students who qualify, last year we awarded
$55,000 in financial aid!

We welcome your application and hope you become one of our accomplished
alumni - each year, 99% of 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!  

 

Thank You,

Carmen Lopez, Executive Director, EdM (Navajo)

Christine Suina, Program Coordinator (Cochiti Pueblo)

Hillary Abe, Recruitment Coordinator (Mandan/Hidatsa)
