two college campuses via trips offered by the the Boys & Girls Club of Easton next month.
The tours will allow students the opportunity to visit college campuses, meet with faculty and admissions personnel, tour classrooms, dorms, fraternities, sororities, attend seasonal athletic events and interact with college students, learning first hand what each education institution has to offer, the club said.
Additionally, students will have the opportunity on the trips to learn about entry requirements, student loans, grant opportunities, and community involvement, as well as receive information on application preparation, scholarships, curriculums offered, financial aid, job placement ratio, and campus life.
A tour of Lehigh University is set for Saturday, April 6, with transportation from the Easton Teen Center, 1101 Northampton St., departing at 9:45 a.m., and departing from the Boys & Girls Club of Easton, 210 Jones Houston Way, at 10 a.m.
On Saturday, April 20, students can visit Syracuse University in New York. Transportation departs from the Easton Teen Center at 7 a.m., and departs from the Boys & Girls Club at 7:15 a.m.
The program is open to high schoolstudents who have at least a "C" average, have a good behavior record, and are in good standing with their school.
To help defray costs, there is a registration fee of $5 for current Boys & Girls Club members, and $20 for new registrants which includes a 12-month membership to the club as well.
Those participating should bring their own refreshments for the trip.
Pre-registration with a signed permission form is mandatory, and forms can be obtained from both Club locations as indicated above. The registration deadline is Monday, April 2.
