Summer Programs:
Build Your Future One Summer at a Time
Summer schools offer an excellent opportunity to discover what universities have to offer and get a glimpse of university life. While not mandatory for college applications, attending a summer program highlights you as a serious and motivated candidate.


These programs allow students to deepen their academic interests or explore new disciplines at universities of their choice. They can be held in person on campus or conducted online. Moreover, students have the chance to interact with faculty members, some of whom may become recommenders for their college applications.
Futures Abroad helps you identify the right summer program tailored to your goals and supports you in submitting a standout application.
