College Access Leadership Institute

NYU CALI is an intensive one-week online program that takes place annually in July. Led by NYU Admissions counselors, interactive CALI workshops and seminars prepare students to apply for and succeed at college. Over the course of the program, students are equipped with information and tools that help them develop their college list, succeed at standardized testing, write their college essay, apply for financial aid, and much more.

High school students currently in the 10th and 11th grade who live in the U.S. are eligible to apply.

Program graduates will be certified College Access Ambassadors and act as mentors and advisers in their respective high schools, conducting their very own college application workshop for their peers.

NYU CALI is tuition-free, there are no costs associated with applying to or participating in the program.
