The Fleischer Scholars Program

The Fleischer Scholars Program within the W. P. Carey School of Business provides a great opportunity for high school juniors, preparing to enter their senior year in fall 2013, to experience a taste of college life, entrepreneurship, and business during a week-long residential program.

The program is tailored for economically disadvantaged Arizona high school students interested in pursuing business as a career. Students selected for the program benefit from a multitude of resources, and they learn necessary skills for success in college and beyond.

Benefits of being a Fleischer Scholar:

• Discover academic and career opportunities in business
• Interact with current W. P. Carey students, faculty, staff and alumni
• Find out more about university admission and available financial assistance options
• Learn the keys to academic and professional success

In addition to learning about our degree programs and corresponding careers in business, Fleischer scholars will also develop valuable time management and college level study skills, be mentored by current W. P. Carey students, and participate in team projects and on-site company visits. The benefits of the program continue after the end of the summer session, as the students are invited to W. P. Carey events and assisted throughout the college admission and enrollment process.
