BYU Soar Program

Parents with juniors in high school can apply for the SOAR, or Summer of Academic Refinement, program at BYU. Is a five-day college preparation program which prepares and informs students of the educational benefits and expectations at Brigham Young University. SOAR provides ACT preparation, admissions and college success information, and an introduction to Multicultural Student Services. In addition to college and academic preparation, students are exposed to BYU campus, its community, and opportunities. SOAR students are assigned a BYU student-counselor who serves as their mentor through the program. The cost for SOAR, which includes housing, food, activities, and materials, is minimal, and need-based scholarships are available. For more information you can contact Sam Brown at sam_brown@byu.edu or visit the Multicultural Student Services link on the right side of the blog.
