Application deadline for Advanced Academy at UWG is June 1
The Advanced Academy of Georgia, a residential program located at the University of West Georgia in Carrollton, is now accepting applications for Fall 2013.
The Academy mostly admits rising high-school juniors and seniors, although the school will consider younger students of exceptional ability.
Advanced Academy can be an ideal environment for students with both the intellect and social maturity to get an early start on their college experience, in an environment where they have like-minded peers.
Unlike some early college options, Advanced Academy is one of a handful of programs in the United States where a high-school student can learn in a college setting — including living on campus — while earning both high-school and college course credits. That means they begin earning credits for a college degree, while at the same time fulfilling the requirements for their high-school diploma.
The application deadline for both admission and need-based financial aid is June 1.
