Pre-College Summer Programs

Hey, Laker Nation!

What are your plans this summer?

Consider using your summer to explore a potential career path by participating in a pre-college summer program offered by colleges or universities. These programs come in a variety of formats—on-campus or virtual—and differ in cost, length, intensity, and location. We've compiled a list of summer programs available across the U.S. to help you get started. Keep in mind that many colleges not listed also offer pre-college opportunities, so an online search might uncover even more options.

While exploring these enriching experiences, please note that we cannot officially endorse any specific program. Many programs have early application deadlines and tend to fill up quickly, but scholarships may be available to help with costs.

Important Note: Many of these programs are "pay-to-play" opportunities, meaning they are not typically a factor in college admissions decisions. However, they are an good way to explore career interests, build connections, and get a taste of college life.

Another fantastic way to spend your summer is by working or volunteering. These experiences can be invaluable for building your resume and gaining real-world skills.

Every effort was made to provide correct information and deadlines. Due to the volume of programs, students should always refer to the program website for the most accurate information and for any changes.

The Summer Scholars program provides scholarships for talented female high school students to participate in a summer academic program at one of our partner programs – some of the most rigorous and selective colleges and universities in the country.

Scholars receive a full or partial scholarship, based on demonstrated financial need, to cover tuition, room and board, travel expenses, and supplies. The Joyce Ivy Foundation works directly with our set of program partners to combine Joyce Ivy scholarships with additional financial aid provided by the summer program. The application for summer 2026 is now available!

What is PVE?

The Perry Virtual Experience is a free, 2.5-hour, interactive online experience for high school and college-aged students who are interested in pursuing careers in orthopaedics and/or engineering. Women and all gender identities are welcome. Participants will hear from women leaders in these fields and dive into online mock orthopaedic surgery simulations and biomechanics experiments.

Perry Outreach Program alumnae are welcome to register for a PVE session. If you are new to the Perry Initiative, participating in the PVE will not disqualify you from a POP at a later date.

How can I attend?

You are welcome to register for any session that works for your schedule, and you can find those on our upcoming program calendar. Please only register for one session. Sessions have limited capacity and will be filled first come, first serve. The unique registration link for each Perry Virtual Experience session can be found on the calendar event page.

When is PVE?

We offer 2-3 sessions of the Perry Virtual Experience monthly. Sessions are either Saturday morning, Saturday mid-day or weekday evening depending on your time zone. New events are added periodically, so if all sessions you see are currently full please check back soon for new events.

Before you register

Please check your schedule carefully before applying to the program. Applying to the program when you cannot attend takes a spot away from someone who was interested and available.

Make sure you have access to a stable internet connection on computer or laptop with a keyboard, camera, and Zoom capabilities ahead of time. Even though we cannot all be together in person, this will be an interactive experience and one that cannot be achieved on your cell phone.

You might not think about it very often, but everything in a building—the materials used to build it, the parts inside it, from its frame to wiring to walls to doors— has to be designed and engineered. The growing profession of architectural engineering deals with the engineering designs that are integrated into building systems and the architecture of the building itself. Included are lighting systems, electrical systems, mechanical systems like heating and air conditioning, and the structures themselves. This camp will teach you some of the fundamental knowledge needed to understand these systems, and how they are integrated into the building envelope. Through a series of lectures, hands-on experiments, demonstrations and activities, you will explore the engineering designs that make an architect’s vision unfold.

Learn About the Program

IGEI 2025

Entrepreneurship

Entrepreneurship at Iacocca means seeing opportunities to make things work better. For some, it looks like starting a business to provide a product or service that people didn’t even know they needed. For others, it means taking a tedious, wasteful, or broken process and fixing it. Still others might observe where people or places have been overlooked and under-resourced, and see potential where others saw only problems. What unites these and all instances of entrepreneurship is the drive to move beyond the way things have always been and achieve something better for people, communities, and the world.

Leadership

At IGEI, leadership does not mean always being the loudest, the most talkative, or the bossiest person in a group, nor is success in this program measured by individual achievement. Instead, all challenges and projects are team endeavors, where each member is required to contribute what is needed for the team’s success. Participants learn by experience that teams whose members use their strengths to support and uplift one another consistently outperform those in which individuals vie for the spotlight. Here, leaders take bold risks in service of a common goal achieved through shared effort.

Intercultural Effectiveness

Being intercultural means celebrating a diversity of traditions and recognizing difference as something that enriches the human experience when approached with curiosity, openness, and respect. At the same time, the global challenges the world faces require global solutions, and success will depend on the ability to make common cause with others of wildly different experience and worldview. What makes us different needs not negate what unites us: at IGEI, we reject zero-sum thinking in favor of civil discourse, appreciation of difference, and recognition of our shared humanity.
