Applications are being accepted for the Governor's Institutes of Vermont summer programs. Vermont teens passionate about learning are invited to apply for GIV's 10 fun, intensive, residential summer opportunities on college campuses statewide.
At GIV, according to a news release, rising students in grades 10-12 spend one to two weeks “diving deep into academics or the arts, making new friends, and gaining new skills and confidence while having the time of their lives.”
Students choose their own focus areas from a broad range including Arts (visual, performing and technical), Astronomy, Environmental Science and Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, Health & Medicine, Entrepreneurship, Global Issues/Youth Action, or Technology, Design, and Coding.
Surrounded by others who share the same interest and passion for learning, students engage in hands-on exploration of the topic, receive mentorship by topical experts and professionals, explore career paths in their field of interest, and broaden their network of friends.
More than 10,000 students have participated in Governor's Institutes since it was co-founded by the Agency of Education 36 years ago. GIV strives to be accessible for all students by providing tuition reductions and scholarships for every student who needs them.
GIV will continue its special discounts for girls attending STEM and Entrepreneurship Institutes and will add similar incentive pricing for boys enrolling in the Arts and Global Issues/Youth Action Institutes.
