Sophomore Seminar (TASS) | Apply
2010 TASS Programs will be held June 27 - August 7
Applying to TASSHigh 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 asks essay questions because we want to learn more about your personal and academic interests and abilities. With a large sample of your best work, we will be able to make our decision based upon who you really are, not just your grades. These essays are by far the most important part of the application, so be sure to allow yourself plenty of time to complete them.
Application and Brochure
Application materials for the 2011 programs will be available in late November. The current year's application is posted on the site during the application period (typically early December through early January).
To request more information, please contact us.
