OHIO SUMMER CAMPS FOR STUDENTS IN GRADES 9-11

Ohio Summer Honors Institutes

The Ohio Summer Honor Institutes are academic summer programs for current 9th and 10th grade gifted
students funded by the Ohio Department of Education (ODE). The program’s purpose is to provide in-
depth study of challenging topics, to provide opportunities for exploring education and career options,
and to provide opportunities for interaction with gifted peers.
Summer Honors Institutes are hosted by Ohio colleges and universities. Tuition is free for eligible
students. However, Summer Honors Institutes that offer a residential option may charge residential
students a fee to cover the costs of breakfast, dinner, residence hall rooms, evening activities and
overnight supervision.
Application for the 2009 Summer Honors Institutes will be available on January, 9, 2009, and are due on
April 10, 2009. Links to individual programs will be active when the information is received from the
institute.
