The first is our Fine Arts Scholarship Audition Day.  Interested seniors may compete for music, theatre and art scholarships and learn more about opportunities within our fine arts program. 

The second is our Andrew Serves Leadership Day.  High school students are invited to participate in a hands-on exploration of the Andrew Serves program, the premiere service and leadership organization at Andrew College.  Participants may also be eligible for an $8,500 per year Andrew Serves Scholarship.  This would also be a great team-building opportunity for teams, student councils, etc.
