Application & Tuition
Admissions are rolling and subject to class size. We do not require letters of recommendation, transcripts, or essays to attend GirlSummer. Applications will be accepted until the program is sold out or one week before your desired session start day. As space is limited, it is highly recommended that all interested students complete their applications as early as possible to reserve their seat.
