The goal of the Wilkes Young Scholars Program is to provide...
qualified area high-school students with an opportunity to take college courses at Wilkes University at a nominal cost.
The program is open to students who...
-
- have successfully completed the 10th grade in high school;
- rank in the top 15 percent of their class; and
- are nominated to participate in this program by a teacher, guidance counselor, or principal on an official WYSP nomination form. Students from schools that do not use rank, or who are home-schooled, will be considered on an individual basis.
-
Privileges...
Students who enroll in at least one course through this program will be designated Wilkes Young Scholars for the term. Upon request, they will... -
- be granted library privileges at Wilkes;
- be given assistance in career planning, college selection and financing; be accorded preferential consideration in Wilkes scholarship awards; and
- be admitted free-of-charge to most university athletic, musical and cultural events.
-
Cost is $70 per credit.
That means a typical three-credit course costs $210. By contrast, regular part-time tuition is about $660 per credit.
