How do students apply to Summer Seniors?

The Summer Seniors application will be available on this website in mid-March. The deadline to apply is May 1. As part of the application process, students will be asked to submit their unofficial high school transcript (PDF, Word Document or JPEG are acceptable formats) and answer three essay prompts. We encourage students to take this opportunity to tell us more about themselves and their experiences. Incomplete applications will not be considered.

Students will be notified of their Summer Seniors decision in mid-May.

My favorite thing about the University of South Carolina is that everyone feels like family, and that started with my very first visit at Summer Seniors. It was a great way to learn more about the university, especially since we were staying on campus.
