FIT Summer Live courses are precollege courses taught at FIT by FIT professors for high school students. Alumni of the program and current Junior, Keysha, said that the program last summer allowed her to "work with likeminded peers" in her 10-Day Graphic Design course. She was able to "express [her] ideas and create a diverse range of work in a welcoming and supportive classroom environment."
Thanks to our continued partnership with the Charles Hayden Foundation, last year 50 HSFI students were able to attend this courses on a scholarship, and we are in the process of registering another 50 students for this opportunity this summer. Many of our students each year matriculate to FIT after graduation, and this program can help with portfolio development, and major exploration at FIT.
Thank you again to the Charles Hayden Foundation!
