This opportunity is open to current JUNIORS
The application for the 2020 Martha Guy Summer Institute opened December 1st, 2019, with all application materials now due by March 15th, 2020. We have extended the deadline due to school weather closures and to accommodate those participating in this week’s DECA Conference. We look forward to seeing applications from your high school! As a way to be more inclusive for your students, the program this year will offer significantly reduced fees – tuition/ meal plan – a 40% reduction! As a way to accomplish this, the camp has been restructured into a two-week program including educational, professional development, cultural, and business professional interactions.
As a reminder, here are some key points about the program:
Unique aspects of MGSI
· MGSI is a college residential experience. The program includes instruction on Appalachian State University’s campus in Boone, North Carolina, nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Appalachian is the premier public undergraduate institution and boasts the largest business school of the 17 campuses in the University of North Carolina System.
· Each MGSI cohort is small. Only 24 students are selected, providing an intimate, hands-on experience for each participant.
· It is quite affordable: tuition is $1,000 plus a meal plan of $350. *
*Need-based scholarships are available to qualified applicants to defray tuition costs.
Which students are well suited for MGSI?
· We are seeking students who have a sincere interest in business as a college major and demonstrate leadership potential. Some candidates have an entrepreneurial spirit, or have unique or extensive part-time work experience. Also consider your most competitive students among under-represented groups and populations. Interested students should demonstrate academic achievement.
· Students who embrace and appreciate new people, opportunities and experiences are ideal for MGSI. They should also be well-prepared to be away from home and able to manage a demanding schedule.
· Application: Opens: December 1, 2019; Deadline: March 15th, 2020
