Governor's Institutes of Vermont Summer Programs
Have you heard of the Governor's Institutes of Vermont? It is a nearly 40-year-old nonprofit that helps Vermont high schoolers pursue their passions. Students say that participating in one of these residential summer Institutes helps them see themselves differently - they often emerge more confident, more capable, and more connected. GIV offers 1- to 2-week programs in topics like Arts, Engineering, Environmental Science, Health & Medicine, and more.... and operates on a sliding scale so that any family can send their child, no matter their finances. Applications close April 3rd. Students can learn more and apply today at GIV.org/summer.
