Overview
Scholarships and Financial Aid are available through the Broadreach Foundation. Applications are due by May 1 and will be reviewed by May 15. If you choose to apply for a scholarship, you are running the risk of giving up a space on the program of your choice. Scholarships and Financial Aid usually cover around 1/3 the cost of the program although that is flexible based on need.
Academic Treks, a division of Broadreach, offers college-accredited summer adventures abroad for high school students. Backed by sixteen years of experience in running educational programs for thousands of teenagers, Academic Treks combines the finest elements of experiential learning, traditional classroom learning and service learning with wilderness adventure, international travel and cultural exchange to create extraordinary expeditions.
On each dynamic journey, students explore unique environments and cultures while studying marine science or a foreign language or embarking on an intensive community service adventure. Each course includes an important community service component, and several include a significant emphasis (up to 55 hours) on service work. Academic Treks students are fully immersed in an educational experience in a real world setting, gaining a global perspective and hands-on understanding of the topics studied. They also get a head start on college by earning college and/or community service credit and by building a host of skills they will use both in school and beyond.
Join us this summer for an unforgettable adventure. Bring a thirst to learn and have fun, and a desire to open your heart and mind to new people, places and experiences. See the world in a different light, achieve things you never thought possible, make lasting friendships, and learn by doing and experiencing with incredible environments as your classrooms.
Academic Credit

All Academic Trek programs are accredited through Lesley University in Cambridge Massachusetts. You can earn 3 credit hours on this program and it will generally transfer in as a Marine Science or Biology credit. Otherwise, you should receive elective credits.
You can also take our programs for high school credit or no credit. However, those not taking the program for university credit will still be required to perform to the same standard as those taking it for credit.
