The University of Success is an academic and enrichment program funded entirely by corporate and foundations grants, so there is no charge to students and their families.

Accepted students will begin the program with a two-week residential summer academy which will be held on the campus of The University of Scranton from July 9 to 21. Upon completion of the summer program, the students will continue to meet for enrichment sessions throughout their high school career.

The deadline for submission of applications is Saturday, April 1, 2023.

Applications may be obtained by emailing Margaret Loughney, University of Success program director, at margaret.loughney@scranton.edu. Applications may also be obtained online at The University of Success web site.
