The High School Scholars Program, offered through University Extension, provides an opportunity for qualified seniors who attend Santa Cruz County high schools to take UC Santa Cruz academic courses. The program is administered through University Extension in cooperation with Cowell College. Program advisors help the participants select appropriate courses from those available.
- Participants experience university life. They will be able to explore new subjects, get to know UC Santa Cruz faculty and students, and use the university library.
- Participants who attend another University of California campus will receive transfer credit for their course work at UC Santa Cruz that appears on their UC Extension transcript. Most other colleges and universities outside of the UC system will award transfer credit as well.
To be considered for admission to the program applicants must:
- Have a UC grade-point average of at least 3.8 in the A-G pattern of high school subjects. A maximum of three units in this subject pattern may be completed during the senior year. In addition to the gpa requirement, students must earn a minimum of 1875 total score on the SAT-Reasoning (single-sitting). Students completing the ACT examination must have a minimum total score (for the mathematics, reading, and English/writing subject areas) of 79 (single-sitting).
- If the UC gpa is 3.9 or above, a minimum of 1800 on the SAT-Reasoning or a total score of 76 on the ACT (mathematics, reading, and English/writing subject areas) is required. All scores must be achieved in a single-sitting.
- Examinations must be taken no later than the June testing dates for both SAT and ACT. Photocopies of test scores must be sent directly to UC Extension.
- Have the recommendation of the high school counselor or principal.
- Have parental or guardian approval.
Applications are available through high school counselors and University Extension. The completed application, appropriate fee, and an official copy of the high school transcript must be submitted to University Extension by June 29, 2007. Photocopy of test scores must be received by July 16. Students who are accepted into the program will be notified the by August 15 and will be sent additional information regarding participation fees, orientation in September, and enrollment procedures.
