As I write to you, our sixth cohort is in the midst of the college application process, working with our program’s college admissions counselors to refine essays and applications. And our fifth cohort is enjoying their first year as college freshmen at top-tier universities across the country — think Harvard, Columbia, the University of Chicago, the University of California, Berkeley, and right here at USC.

If selected, each Bovard Scholar will have one full year of support through the admissions cycle and spend three weeks on the USC campus, where they will receive:

  • Personalized career exploration
  • Expert admission and financial aid support
  • Comprehensive test preparation
  • Leadership development

This year, the summer intensive runs from July 10, 2023 through July 29, 2023.We offer the program at no cost to students or families. USC will pay for transportation to and from campus for students coming from outside of Southern California.
