Choice Scholars Summer Institute
Building a formula for student success.
It’s time to be a scholar.
The Choice Scholars Summer Institute is a FREE four-week program that gives new Harper students an opportunity to engage in a learning project focused on global matters while helping improve skills in Reading, Writing and Math.
