ELS is a grant-based program that will introduce local high school students to college life and Baylor’s campus. ELS students will stay on Baylor’s campus for two weeks in June and take a seminar entitled Living the Examined Life & The Purpose of an Education. Scheduled events and activities will give ELS students exposure to the diverse social and cultural life beyond the classroom on a college campus. The ELS program is free to the students and breakfast, lunch and dinner will be provided. Students will be assigned a mentor who will continue working with the high school students throughout their senior year as they go through the college admissions process.
