Freshman Transition Scholars Program (FTSP) Enrollment

The Freshman Transition Scholars Program (FTSP) is a summer program designed to prepare students for college-level work and bridge a successful transition from high school to Siena Heights University.

FTSP is a week-long intensive academic immersion into college life. Student participants will take four courses in academic writing, research, financial literacy, and study skills and receive two college credits upon successful completion. All participants will live on campus during the week and will engage in cultural events as well as study sessions, all the while lead by a peer mentor and SSS staff.

In addition, each FTSP participant will be paired with a peer mentor and a professional SSS Success Coach to receive holistic academic support and guidance for the 2021-2022 academic year. As an incoming first year student, we encourage you to consider enrolling in the Freshman Transition Scholars Program! Summer 2021 dates - coming soon!
