High School Scholars Programs

General Information

Enrollment for dependents in the High School Scholars Program is a collaborative process that includes interactions with the Admissions' Office, the Registrar’s Office and the Office of Human Resources. Information about the High School Scholars Program can be found on the Admissions website.

General Information:

Offered to rising juniors and seniors who have demonstrated strong achievement in high school, The University of Scranton High School Scholars Program offers local students the opportunity to earn college credits at a greatly reduced rate. Courses are the same as those offered to college students, giving high school students an opportunity to experience college-level work before their first year.

Step-by-Step Process for consideration:

Step 1:  Admissions Office:

o   The staff or faculty member should register their dependent via the admissions website at https://admissions.scranton.edu/apply/hs-scholars-app-info.shtml

§  Scroll down to the “Application Requirements” tab and click on the plus sign to the right, this will open another tab for the student to officially apply by submitting a set of transcripts from their high school and a letter of recommendation from the school counselor.

·         Once the electronic application is completed, the Office of Admissions will determine eligibility.  If eligible, the Admissions' office will create a student profile, which will include the creation of the Royal ID number.  This number will be communicated to your dependent once admitted.

·         Please contact the Office of Human Resources with the dependent’s Royal ID number.

§  Once the application is complete, the Admissions department will build the necessary student profile which allows the Office of the Registrar to begin working with the student to register in the High School Scholars program.

·         Step 2:  Office of the Registrar:

o   Once the application process is complete, the student will be contacted by the Admissions' and the Registrar’s Office to register for approved High School Scholar students.

·         Step 3:  Office of Human Resources:

o   The Office of Human Resources will verify the dependent and update the beneficiary profile of the staff or faculty member by linking the dependent’s Royal ID #.  The staff or faculty member will need to provide the student Royal ID # to Human Resources.

o   The staff or faculty member should complete the “Application for tuition remission” for employees, eligible spouses, and eligible children.  This application must be made online through the my.scranton portal once each academic year for each individual applying for the benefit.   Step-by-step instructions are listed below:
