TROY - Hudson Valley Community College will offer more than 50 college-level courses for rising high school juniors and seniors this summer with an added incentive: tuition and fees will be completely funded through a college scholarship, and textbooks will be provided at no cost for students. The scholarship offer covers up to eight credits.
The same incentive was offered last year, and nearly 1,000 students from around the Capital Region took advantage of the opportunity.
“We want to do everything in our power to make our summer College in the High School courses even more accessible,‚ said President Roger Ramsammy. “By offering a full scholarship on tuition and providing open educational resources or free textbooks, we are offering an incredible opportunity for students to get a jump start on their college career while still in high school."
The majority of summer College in the High School courses will be offered in an online or remote learning format. High school students will also be able to enroll in a three-week on-campus summer session and additional courses will be taught in person at Troy Middle School. Session dates are May 23 - July 1; May 23 - Aug. 12; and July 5 - Aug. 12.
Courses range from English Composition, Precalculus and Sociology to Child Development, Introduction to Criminal Law and Principles of Marketing. Successful students will be able to apply the credit they earn at Hudson Valley and hundreds of other colleges and universities.
