Greetings from the University of Chicago!

We are so excited to share a new summer program this year which would offer your students an opportunity to develop their math and science skills while familiarizing themselves with UChicago’s culture of inquiry and beautiful ivy-laden campus.

The Neubauer Phoenix STEM Scholars Summer Program is designed to eliminate barriers to entry that have surrounded STEM fields and help usher in a new generation of changemakers into these fields. This program invites rising high school seniors to campus for a one-week immersive program taught by world-class UChicago faculty, and provides access to college counseling, state of the art facilities, and other resources. The Neubauer Phoenix STEM Scholars program offers talented students an environment of collaborative learning, mentorship, and STEM-focused advising.

Not only will this program offer students tremendous insight and knowledge into college-level STEM courses, but it will also provide a chance to acquaint themselves with our College, our campus, and our community. The opportunity to live in and engage with a major city is one that can be perspective-changing for many summer scholars at UChicago. Chicago is the “City of Big Shoulders”— a city skyline carved by architects of the past and the present. This city is home to some of the most accomplished engineers, scientists, mathematicians, doctors, and inventors of our time. Our university stands on the shoulders of giants, bolstered by the achievements of the Chicagoans and UChicago scholars who came before us, and your students may someday share in these achievements.

If you’re interested in learning more about this opportunity or recommending it to a student, you can visit here. For additional questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to our Program Director, Nicole Mullen at ncmullen@uchicago.edu.

With the new year, we know that you and many of your students are thinking about summer.

Do you have a student thinking about a career in communications or enjoy writing? We have just the thing: the Boston University Summer Journalism Academy, hosted by Boston University College of Communication.

For 13 years, our program has taught high school students in-person and virtually core skills in news reporting, interviewing, and writing, focusing on hands-on experience in and around Boston and their home communities. Taught by award-winning working journalists such as Pulitzer Prize winner Lara Salahi and Rochelle Sharpe, students learn how to follow facts and get to the heart of stories affecting communities.

We challenge students to step outside their comfort zone – and experience life as a working journalist. In the past, our students spoke with policymakers, reported from a massive immigration march, and highlighted issues affecting teens during the pandemic. They learned how to interview strangers, ask probing questions and assemble it in a concise story on deadline.

Students learn practical skills during their sessions and will receive a taste of how a newsroom operates.

The academy now offers two options: an on-campus residential program over three weeks for students with journalism experience and a learn-from-home program over two weeks for all experience levels. For students interested in photography, we offer a special photojournalism track for both.

Applications for the on-campus session June 26 to July 14 are due on April 14. Applications for learn-at-home sessions starting June 19, July 3, and July 17 are due on May 5.

Best of all, students will save $400 off the full fee for the on-campus academy or $200 off the full fee of the learn-from-home academy if they apply, are accepted, and registered in full by March 3.

Are you considering studying in Germany in 2023? If so, you may be wondering about the cost of studying and living in this beautiful country. In this newsletter, we will provide you with an overview of the costs associated with studying in Germany, as well as some tips on how to save money while pursuing your education.

Tuition fees in Germany

One of the biggest advantages of studying in Germany is that tuition is generally very affordable, especially compared to other countries. In fact, many public universities in Germany do not charge tuition fees at all! This is because the German government heavily subsidizes higher education, and believes that it should be accessible to all. However, it is important to note that some private universities do charge tuition, and these fees can be quite high.

Living expenses in Germany

While tuition may be relatively low in Germany, living expenses can add up quickly. You will need to budget for things like rent, food, transportation, and other daily expenses. The good news is that the cost of living in Germany is generally lower than in other countries, especially when compared to major cities like London or New York. Here are some estimates of what you might expect to pay in Germany:

  • Rent: €300-€700 per month, depending on the city and the size of your apartment
  • Food: €200-€300 per month
  • Transportation: €70-€100 per month

Keep in mind that these estimates are just rough guidelines, and your actual costs may be higher or lower depending on your lifestyle and location.

You can read more about the cost of living in Germany here.

Ways to save money while studying in Germany

There are a few ways that you can save money while studying in Germany:

  • Look for scholarships or grants: There are many organizations that offer financial assistance to students studying in Germany. You can search online or speak with your school’s financial aid office to find out what opportunities are available.
  • Consider living in a shared apartment: Splitting the cost of rent and other expenses with roommates can help reduce your overall costs.
  • Take advantage of student discounts: Many museums, theaters, and other cultural institutions offer discounted tickets for students. You can also get discounts on things like public transportation and gym memberships with your student ID.
  • Cook at home: Eating out can add up quickly, so consider cooking at home to save money on food.

We hope this newsletter has been helpful in giving you a sense of the costs associated with studying in Germany. We wish you the best of luck in your studies!

To your academic success!
