Acadia Institute of Oceanography (AIO) offers “Advanced Sessions”, which comprise pre-college summer courses for students 15 – 19 who have completed at least one year of high school science, ideally biology or chemistry. The programs are analytical two-week sessions, in which students will prepare lab reports and field work analyses through the hands-on camp at the Acadia Institute of Oceanography in Seal Harbor, Maine. Students can also explore collegiate and marine science-related career options, as well as have the opportunity to earn college credit through their participation, depending on their chosen enrollment and outcomes.

Scholarships:

The College of the Atlantic in Bar Harbor, Maine, offers up to four $10,000 in annual scholarships to students accepted into their program with a recommendation from an Acadia Institute of Oceanography Director. Thus, participation can be a meaningful and financially rewarding networking opportunity for those who make the most of their experience.

Two separate sessions are offered each summer in July and August, and the first advanced session includes the opportunity for students to earn college credit from the University of Maine Machias, AIO’s affiliate university partner. Students who excel in the program are invited to apply for one of our winter programs in Belize and Florida.

Housing and logistics:
