The deadline for applications to the 2016 cohort of the Martha Guy Summer Institute has been extended to Friday, March 4, 2016 due to recent weather issues in the region. Please see details about the program noted below.
The
“best” summer opportunity awaits current high school juniors on the
campus of Appalachian State University located in beautiful Boone, North
Carolina. The MarthaGuy Summer Institute for Future Business Leaders (MGSI) has
a solid, 12-year history of inspiring students through exploration of
the business world, and we are now accepting applications for our 2016
Cohort.
Unique aspects of MGSI:
- Unlike most summer opportunities, MGSI combines a residential experience with out of state travel. Following two weeks on campus at Appalachian State University, the program concludes with a week of travel to various business and cultural/entertainment sites.
- Each MGSI class is small. Twenty-four students are selected. The group size provides a much more intimate, personal experience for each participant.
- It is quite affordable considering the extensive travel, excursions and activities; tuition is $1,500 plus a meal plan fee of $325.
Which students are well suited for MGSI?
- We are seeking students who have a sincere interest in business as a college major and demonstrate leadership potential. Some candidates have an entrepreneurial spirit, or have unique or extensive part-time work experience. Also consider your most competitive students among under-represented groups and populations. Interested students should demonstrate academic achievement.
- Students who embrace and appreciate new people, opportunities and experiences are ideal for MGSI. They should also be well-prepared to be away from home and able to manage a demanding schedule.
- Application deadline has been EXTENDED to Friday, March 4, 2016
