Youngstown State University Summer Honors Institute

YSU's Summer Honors Institute offers academically motivated high school students the opportunity to explore topics from a variety of disciplines in an active learning environment on campus.  

The YSU Sokolov Honors College is hosting the event July 20-23, 2026, for high school students who will be in grades 9, 10, or 11 during the 2026-27 school year.

SHI courses are developed by YSU faculty and introduce students to disciplines that might not be available to study in high school through an engaging, hands-on format.

Tuition for SHI is $50 per student and includes lunch all four days of the institute.
