The USC Bovard Scholars Program is a highly selective, free summer initiative hosted by the University of Southern California for high-achieving 11th graders who demonstrate both academic excellence and financial need. Accepted students participate in a three-week residential intensive on the USC campus, engaging in rigorous coursework and college preparation activities alongside peers from across the country. Throughout senior year, participants receive continued support including one-on-one guidance from admissions coaches to help navigate the college application process. The program is one of the most competitive and comprehensive college access opportunities available to high school juniors.
