About SAI
Summer Academic Institute
Summer Academic Institute is a highly encouraged component of the UCCS Pre-Collegiate Program, designed to help scholars prepare for success in high school, college, and beyond. Held throughout the month of June, the institute offers grade-level, weeklong programming that combines academic preparation, postsecondary and career exploration, and opportunities for personal growth.
Scholars develop essential academic skills and success strategies, learn how to navigate college applications and financial aid processes, explore postsecondary options and career pathways, develop lifelong skills, create new connections, and more.
Rising 11th and 12th grade scholars also have the opportunity to participate in a dual enrollment course, providing valuable exposure to college-level coursework and experiences at no cost to our scholars.
Through engaging hands-on programming, the Summer Academic Institute empowers scholars to explore their potential, dream about their future, and achieve meaningful steps toward postsecondary success.
