Summer College, part of the Office of Pre-College Programs, has received a gift of $150,000 from the Campos Foundation to support recipients of the Campos Foundation Scholarship. The gift was part of a pledge of $2.15 million to Syracuse University as part of the Forever Orange Campaign, supporting both Summer College and the College of Engineering and Computer Science.
Established in partnership with the Campos Foundation and the Office of Pre-College Programs, the scholarship builds on two years of previous support and aims to empower high school students enrolled in pre-college courses in the IT and engineering spaces. In 2022 and 2023, the scholarship supported a total of 59 students.
“Students leave Summer College with a fresh outlook and a better understanding of who they are and the goals they want to achieve,” says Christopher Cofer, executive director of the Office of Pre-College Programs. “The Campos Foundation Scholarship offers access to a transformative experience.”
