We are no longer taking applications for the 2021 College 101 session. However, we invite you to learn more about the program in case you're interested in the future.

In order to be eligible for College 101, students must be a current high school rising junior or senior in good academic standing at any of the Boston public high schools or one of the following high schools:

• Mystic Valley Regional Charter School.

Accepted students start the program the summer before their junior or senior years in an intensive, six-week session. Classes start on Tuesday, July 6, 2021 and will be held  Mondays through Thursdays from 8:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m.

Students who successfully complete the summer course may register for one Fisher college course during both the Fall and Spring semesters of the following academic year and will have the opportunity to take classes with current Fisher students. 

There is no cost to participate in the College 101 Program. One of the biggest benefits of the program is that it allows students to get a jump start on their college education by taking up to 9 credits (3 classes) cost-free, saving approximately $10,000 on tuition in the process.

While students who complete the program are not obligated to enroll at Fisher, students who elect are awarded a $22,000 merit scholarship. This scholarship is renewable each year and can be used in addition to any institutional, federal, or state aid for which they may qualify. 

The cost to attend our not-for-profit private college is just as affordable as any state university because of our generous scholarship opportunities.

Fill out your completed application by Thursday, April 15, 2021. In addition to your completed application, you must include:

• Transcript, including current year grades.
• PSAT/SAT scores (if available)
• School Counselor Recommendation.

The RSVP deadline is Monday, May 10, 2021.

Two orientations are required for all students participating in College 101. Parent Orientation will be held on Wednesday, May 19, 2021. Student Orientation for all students participating is Monday, June 28, 2021.
