Summer Academy & Saturday Academy
The Summer & Saturday Academy is a free, comprehensive four-year college access program for youth in foster care.
The program engages a cohort of up to 30 students in a variety of learning opportunities, including academic support, career exploration, social and cultural activities and more.
Summer Academy
The Academy offers a 4-week residential Summer Academy where youth live on the Kent State Campus and receive academic support, enrichment, and the encouragement needed to excel during the upcoming academic year and in the transition to young adulthood.
Saturday Academy
In addition to the Summer Academy, students and their adult supporters will engage in a variety of interactions monthly, including our Saturday Academy every third Saturday of the month during the academic year. Saturday Academy allows us to continue focusing on academic support, building life skills, and creating enriching programming for our scholars.
Dates to Remember
After the candidates are selected, the academy will be posting other critical information and dates associated with summer sessions, field trips and other events. So please check back throughout the course of the program.
