APPLYING TO TASS

     High school sophomores are invited to apply to TASS.  African American high school sophomores, high school sophomores from other historical minorities as well as high school sophomores with an interest in African Amercian studies are especially encouraged to apply.  You need not have prior academic experience in these fields.  You can request application materials from our office, or access the application and brochure from this web site (see below).  
     The application includes several essay questions because we want to learn more about your personal and academic interests and abilities than we could from your grades alone.  These essays are by far the most important part of the application, so be sure to allow yourself plenty of time to complete them.
     Applicants selected as finalists are interviewed in March and April.  Final admissions decisions are made in late April or early May.  Please contact our office if you or your parents have any questions.

Application and Brochure

     Current year application is posted on the site during the application period (typically mid-December through mid-January).
