Summer Courses Again Offered to High School Students at No Cost

March 28, 2023

Hudson Valley Community College will offer more than 70 college-level courses for rising high school juniors and seniors this summer with an added incentive: tuition and fees will be completely funded through a college scholarship, and textbooks will be provided at no cost for students. The scholarship offer covers up to eight credits.

The same incentive was offered in summer 2021 and 2022, and more than 2,000 students from around the Capital Region have taken advantage of the opportunity so far.

All classes are taught by Hudson Valley faculty members, and successful students will be able to apply the credit they earn at Hudson Valley and hundreds of other colleges and universities. Summer 2023 offerings include courses in art, business, biology, chemistry, computer science, criminal justice, civil engineering, economics, education, English, history, math, physical education, political science, and psychology.

The majority of this summer’s College in the High School courses will be offered in an online or remote learning format. Additional courses will be taught in person at Troy High School. Session dates are May 22 – June 30; May 22 - August 10; and July 3 through August 10.

“We want to do everything in our power to make our summer College in the High School courses even more accessible,” said President Roger Ramsammy. “By offering a full scholarship on tuition and providing open educational resources or free textbooks, we are offering an incredible opportunity for students to get a jump start on their college career while still in high school.”

Hudson Valley’s College in the High School program has offered hundreds of college-level, credit-bearing courses to more than 30 partner high schools and school districts for decades. Scholarships are available for the fall, spring and full-year courses.

Registration begins March 27. For more information, visit www.hvcc.edu/highschool or contact Hudson Valley’s College in the High School office at (518) 629-8164 or cihs@hvcc.edu.
