Multicultural Summer Honors Program

Application for Summer 2024

Albuquerque Academy’s Multicultural Summer Honors Program (MSHP) is a tuition-free, six-week summer honors program for academically talented and motivated students. Students currently in the fourth grade may apply. The 2024 MSHP program begins on Monday, June 10, and ends on Friday, July 19, with an in-person orientation for families on Sunday, June 9, 2024. MSHP classes meet Monday through Friday from 8:10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. for the six-week program period.

The MSHP is a competitive scholarship program, and applicants are evaluated based on academic performance, character ratings, teacher recommendation(s), and the applicant's essays.

The total value of the program is approximately $1,500 per student. We recognize that families may need full-day care options for their children. To help address this, families may opt to enroll their child in any combination of the following Think Summer program components: , before care starting at 7:30 a.m., afternoon programming until 3:30 p.m., and aftercare until 5:00 p.m.. To provide accessibility for families, we will offer need-based scholarships for these additional components and lunch.

Applications are due by Saturday, January 20, 2024.

Please contact Peter Gloyd, Program Director, if you have questions or need any assistance in completing the form.
