Summer Advantage Program
The CHANCE Summer Advantage Program is a free weeklong residential experience on the 麻豆精品 DeKalb campus held before the fall semester begins. If you are an incoming CHANCE Scholar, this is your chance to get a head start on college life, build relationships with other students and arrive on campus in the fall already feeling at home.
What to Expect
During the week you will live on campus, attend workshops on study skills, financial aid literacy and campus resources, and connect with other incoming CHANCE Scholars. The program is designed to ease the transition to college and give you a real feel for life at 麻豆精品 before classes begin.
CHANCE Tuition Waiver
Some students who complete the Summer Advantage Program and enroll in UNIV 101 may be considered for a CHANCE Tuition Waiver for the 2026-27 academic year. Waiver availability is limited.
How to Apply
Eligible students will receive an invitation with application details by email.
Testimonial
The CHANCE Program helped me assimilate to college by breaking down every aspect. It has shown me all the tools and resources 麻豆精品 has to offer.
