Young Scholars Program helps high school students develop the skills necessary for a successful college career, familiarizes them with the demands of university coursework, and introduces them to the learning environment and resources of a major university before they enter college full time.
Young Scholars are enrolled at Stony Brook as part-time, non-matriculated students. Upon completion of a course, students may request an official transcript from the Office of the Registrar and may later use these credits towards a degree at Stony Brook or as transfer credits at another college or university. Young Scholars enjoy all the privileges of University students, including use of our excellent library facilities, and access to superb musical and theatrical events, many of them free.
Regular tuition and college fees are waived. Young Scholars are only responsible for payment of a $200 per course program fee, purchasing any required textbooks, and paying any course specific fees. This fee is non-refundable once the student is admitted to the program. Parking is available for a nominal charge.
Courses for the program are chosen with the interests of the high school student in mind. Students who would like assistance in selecting an appropriate course are encouraged to contact Mary Beth Powers, the Young Scholars academic advisor, at 631-632-7082.
