The Ulysses S. Grant Foundation is a 6-week academic summer program for highly motivated middle school students who are enrolled in public and parochial schools in New Haven, CT.  Each summer a team of Yale undergraduate teachers, through courses in the humanities and investigations and through electives and group activities, help students acquire the academic preparation and skills they will need to excel in their current school environment and to enter and succeed in college.  The program is designed to support all students, including those who might have limited opportunities and resources, and to allow them to build a community of learners and participate in academic enrichment activities over the summer.
