Consider Engineering Summer

Are you serious about studying engineering in college and keen to spend a short week expanding your horizons? The Pulp and Paper Institute at the University of Maine runs a fabulous four-day program each summer, completely free of charge, for serious engineering students. Only 108 students participate over the course of three separate sessions.

“Consider Engineering is a challenging and rewarding four-day overnight summer program for high school juniors to get a taste of college life and what it takes to be an engineer.

Be one of 108 students from Maine and around the U.S. invited to spend four days at the University of Maine participating in exciting engineering experiments, problem solving challenges, and great networking with faculty, practicing engineers and fellow campers—at no cost to you.

This program is offered three times in July to groups of 36 students who have completed their junior year of study, excel in math and science, and demonstrate communication and leadership skills. This free-of-charge educational and inspiring program is competitive, with only half the applicants gaining admission. On campus food and lodging is included.”

HOT TIP: Summer programs that are free of charge and open enrollment (e.g. not targeting low-income or underserved populations) are considered more prestigious and a serious credit to the student. If you are planning to study engineering in college this will look GREAT on your application!
