The Governor’s School for Medicine and Health Sciences will reconvene at Radford University’s Roanoke campus this summer after a four-year hiatus.
The selective residential summer program for high school students will include activities developed in collaboration by Radford, the Blue Ridge Partnership for Health Science Careers, and Carilion Clinic in Roanoke.
“For students who are interested in health sciences, they are going to see a broad range of disciplines and make a lot of connections with partners throughout the valley and Southwest Virginia,” said Nancy Loosle, Radford associate vice president for campus life who directs the summer program, in a Monday release.
Rising high school juniors and seniors can apply, and the $3,200 tuition per student is split between school divisions and the department of education.
Virginia offers seven residential governor’s schools in the summer. The Medicine and Health Sciences Governor’s School last convened in summer 2019, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.
