This summer, 48 high school freshmen and sophomores from Washington Heights and Harlem are on campus for five weeks to participate in Columbia’s Double Discovery Center, a program founded by Columbia and Barnard undergraduates in 1965. The students live in Columbia dorms and take a variety of rigorous courses from Urban Planning to Adolescent Public Health in Harlem to Algebra taught by current Columbia students.
The summer session concludes August 9, however, the high schoolers will return this fall for further academic enrichment classes and college and career planning advice. Activities to support social-emotional and physical wellness are also offered. The students remain in the program until they graduate high school and enroll in college.

Save money on books, school supplies and everything you want to enjoy college! Financial aid, back in the olden days meant grants, scholarships, work study jobs. Loans were part of the package, but since they are available, ‘common thought’ was it is not financial aid – it was however a low interest loan. If you’re dependent on your parents, and they are below a certain income, most colleges give you much monies to help you attend their school. The middle class student with 2 working parents pays much more for their child to attend school and that student often can’t get work study job on campus. Those jobs are limited to the kids with financial aid.
If you can, or your parents can, to lower your loan debt when you leave school, if you have any monies, try to pay at least the interest while you are in school. Many loans start adding interest the day they are used to pay for school. So a $10,000 loan becomes a $12,000 amount when you leave school (example each loan is different) If you pay the interest (example $25 per month) then the $10,000 loan is only $10,000 when you leave school.
