Sophomore Seminar (TASS) | Apply
2009 TASS Programs will be held June 28 - August 8
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 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.
Application and Brochure
Application materials for the 2009 programs will be available in December. The current year's application is posted on the site during the application period (typically mid-December through mid-January).
