UA Little Rock’s Summer Laureate University for Youth (SLUFY), Arkansas’s longest running summer enrichment program for advanced youth, is now accepting applications.

SLUFY is celebrating 44 years of face-to-face enriched instruction of advanced children who have completed grades K-6. The program, which will run from July 10-21, is a great opportunity for high-achieving students to explore and expand upon their talents and abilities. Students will also get the chance to meet other students, forging connections and friendships that will last long beyond the summer.

The program is Monday-Friday, from 12:30-5:15 p.m. within the two-week period. The program offers classes taught by graduate students seeking master’s degrees in teaching, certified master teachers, and other experts in teaching gifted and talented students.

A limited number of Martha Gaunt Bass scholarships are available to families who otherwise could not afford this opportunity. The link to the scholarship application will be available online beginning March 1 and is due Apr. 17, by 4 p.m.

There are a limited number of student aide positions available to high school and undergraduate students. For more information about this volunteer opportunity, click here.
