The Cook Honors College hosts IUP’s Summer Honors Program (SHP) where talented rising high school
juniors and seniors get a first-hand look at life on campus. It’s a unique opportunity to explore college
classes. You’ll make new friends, learn more about higher education and feel a connection with other
scholars.
COST
The cost of attending the 2013 program is all-inclusive: 30 hours of instruction per week by IUP faculty,
lodging, three meals/day meal plan in our all-you-can-eat dining hall, course supplies and evening and
weekend activities, and access to university facilities and staff.
We want to help talented students who might not otherwise be able to attend such a program. This
year, all students who are admitted to the program will receive a $1000 scholarship, reducing the cost to
$250 for the full two-week program
Students might need a little pocket money for their own incidental spending (purchasing snacks, coffee,
