What is the Elon Academy?
The Elon Academy is a college access and success program for academically promising high school students in Alamance County who have financial need and/or no family history of college. The year-round program combines three intensive three-week residential experiences at Elon University in the summers prior to the 10th, 11th, and 12th grades with a variety of academic enrichment activities during the school year. Support continues through a student’s college years.
