The Telluride Association Summer Seminar (TASS) is a free, six-week summer educational experience for high school sophomores and juniors. TASS prepares and inspires promising young students to lead and serve through transformative educational experiences rooted in critical thinking and democratic community.
Telluride Association covers all program costs for every student, including tuition, books, room and board, field trips, and facilities fees.
WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO APPLY?
TASS applications are open to all high school sophomores and juniors. We admit applicants from all backgrounds, and welcome applications from Black and indigenous students, other students of color, and/or students who have experienced economic hardship. We seek students who are intellectually curious, community-minded, and self-motivated. Applications will open in November 15th and close on January 3rd
WHAT ARE THE TASS PROGRAMS?
Our Telluride Association Summer Seminars (TASS) study how power and privilege shape social structures through courses in humanities and social sciences. You may apply to one of two areas of study.
- TASS-CBS (Critical Black Studies) offers seminars that explore topics within history, politics, literature, art, and other intellectual and cultural contributions from people of African descent.
- TASS-AOS (Anti-Oppressive Studies) considers systems of power and oppression including white supremacy, patriarchy, and classism, and considers ways to transform society.
TASS IS COMPLETELY FREE!
- We cover all of the program costs—tuition, books, room and board, and field trips—for every student. If you need, we can help pay for all or part of your travel costs to and from the program.
- We understand that you may normally spend time in the summer working at a job, taking care of family members, or supporting your family in other ways. If this is the situation for you, we can provide additional financial aid to help replace earnings from your summer job.
- Financial aid decisions are made separately from decisions about program admission, so needing financial aid won’t affect whether you are accepted to the program.
