Requirements: 

The Summer Scholars Program is open to Pell-eligible students who need at least one developmental course. You will need to file your 2023-24 FAFSA, in addition to your 2024-25 FAFSA. After you indicate your interest, a financial aid counselor will reach out to help you complete this step. You must also either submit official SAT/ACT scores, or take Barry’s in-house Math and English placement tests. This is to determine which Math and English courses you need to start your degree. Someone from our Learning Center will reach out to help you schedule and complete placement tests, if needed.
