The Cathedral Scholars Program is looking for highly motivated 9^th graders who are planning to attend college.

Scholars who are accepted into the program will participate in academic studies at the Washington National Cathedral for 6 weeks each summer. The program also includes SAT prep, paid work internships, visits to various colleges and a 3 day trip to camp Echo Hill which is located on the Chesapeake Bay.
