Tufts Univeristy & LTS Partnership
Long Trail School and Tufts University have partnered up, opening up exciting summer opportunities for our Upper School students at LTS. Tufts University, located on the outskirts of Boston, MA, is a globally renowned institution with nearly 7,000 undergraduate students. Each summer, Tufts hosts a diverse range of one- and two-week residential Pre-College Programs, offering high school students exposure to various careers and academic fields.
Through this unique collaboration, a cohort of Long Trail students have the chance to participate in these exceptional Pre-College Programs each summer. Funding for this initiative is supplied by three sources: Long Trail School, Tufts University, and contributions from the students/families involved. The student/family contribution is a sliding scale based on demonstrated financial need. It is important to emphasize that cost should not be seen as a barrier, and that all interested students are encouraged to apply.
How to Apply
Interested LTS students in grades 9-11 are invited to complete this brief survey. Director of College & Career Counseling Scott Magrath will then follow up with interested students to discuss the next steps. This form is not binding and does not constitute an application; it is simply the first step in gauging interest.
For more information, you can visit the Tufts University Pre-College Programs site or explore videos on their Pre-College Programs YouTube Channel.
This partnership represents a significant stride in our ongoing commitment to holistic education at Long Trail School. We take pride in the opportunities available to our students here in southern Vermont and are dedicated to enhancing opportunities both on and off campus. In partnering with Tufts, we are delighted for LTS students to broaden their academic horizons, experience urban campus life, and engage with Tufts professors and motivated students from around the world. We could not be more excited to see what our students will do!
