Pre-College Programs
Wake Forest Pre-College Programs are designed for high school students to experience academic rigor, dynamic learning and enriching social interactions in a supportive college environment. All of our programs are meant for enrichment and are not-for-credit, meaning students don’t have the pressure of formal grades.
“I just want to thank you, the counselors, staff, medical school, the university, the instructors, presenters and EVERYONE involved with this program for providing such an amazing opportunity and experience for Aria. She was safe, she was engaged, challenged, motivated, intrigued, encouraged, enlightened, informed, equipped, and armed for the next decisions she has to make.”
Kimberly, parent of a Pre-College Programs student

Still smiling from our LAUNCH Graduation ceremonies over the last two weekends! 🎓
Our high school juniors and seniors absolutely shined. From presenting their final community research projects to sharing powerful student-led reflections on the stage, they reminded us all why the future is in good hands.
Thank you to the families, campus partners, and community members who supported our Scholars this year. To our students: have a safe and restful summer—we can’t wait to see what you do next!

"The people you’re about to meet will become more than just fellow scholars, they’ll turn into your community. You’re going to build meaningful friendships and connect with students who share your same goals and ambitions. […] Each session will challenge you, engage you, and give you clarity on things that once felt overwhelming." Rachel, 2025-2026 College LAUNCH Scholar
