Gifts to Premier Scholars contribute to...
The Premier Scholars Program is a free 10-day summer bridge experience and peer mentorship program, helping first-year students become acclimated to college life and better prepare for their journey at North Central. The summer portion of the program runs from Monday, August 4 through Wednesday, August 13, 2025, offering tailored campus resource workshops, opportunities to meet faculty, staff, and peers that will support their transition from high school to college life, and build lasting friendships.
