Summer Programs

Innovative continuing education programs fill the summer season at UW-Richland, hosting area, urban, and international learners of many ages.

The Precollege Program

...is a youth development program designed to build academic, leadership, and college ready skills in students in entering grades 7-12. Students apply for admittance to the program during the spring of their 6th grade years.

The UW-Richland Precollege Summer Experience Camp is a residential program that involves middle and high school youth in a mix of academic, team building, and recreational activities aimed at fostering a life-long love of learning and informed consideration of college options. Urban youth from Milwaukee mix with rural youth from southwestern Wisconsin, and collaborate in teambuilding activities and academics, building their knowledge of self and others in a supportive professional environment.

Full scholarships to cover the costs of tuition and fees are available to students who are of the first generation of their family to attend/complete college and whose families meet certain income requirements. Partial scholarships are available to students who meet one of the criteria above. Scholarships are awarded directly through the Office of Continuing Education and precollege. Regular tuition and fees to participate in this six-day residential program is $395.00. Tuition and fees cover the costs of all meals, housing, awards banquet, class-work, and supplies.
