AVON PARK, Fla.–April 21, 2016–This summer, South Florida State College launches its AgDiscovery Summer Program, a weeklong tuition-free class that aims to help high school students explore educational and career opportunities available in STEM fields —science, technology, engineering, agriculture, and mathematics.
SFSC will offer the half-day class at each of its three campuses and the college’s Lake Placid Center. The class includes a daylong field trip to the University of Florida in Gainesville, offered at no cost to the students.
The AgDiscovery Summer Program will guide students through hands-on agricultural research projects, leadership development tasks, and personal enrichment activities that will bolster students’ appreciation of STEM-related subjects.
The first session runs Monday through Thursday, June 6 -9, 9 a.m.-noon, at SFSC’s Hardee Campus in Bowling Green, and 1:30-4:30 p.m., at the college’s DeSoto Campus in Arcadia. The field trip to Gainesville departs each campus at 7 a.m. on Friday, June 10, with students returning at 7 p.m.
The second session runs Monday through Thursday, June 13 -16, 9 a.m.-noon, at SFSC’s Highlands Campus in Avon Park, and 1:30-4:30 p.m. at the college’s Lake Placid Center. The field trip to Gainesville departs the Highlands Campus and the Lake Placid Center at 7 a.m. on Friday, June 17, with students returning at 7 p.m.
Students may register to attend any one-week session of their choice.
The AgDiscovery Summer Program is open to students who will enter grades 11 and 12 this fall. Students whose parents do not have a college degree— first generation college students—are encouraged to apply. Parents should help students apply by April 30 to ensure a place is available. The AgDiscovery Summer Program will accept applications after the deadline if space is available.
