Students from Bartlett and Arlington joined a select group of area African-American high school students to get a taste of college life during the recent seventh annual Young Scholars Academy at the University of Tennessee at Martin.

Sponsored by the UT Martin Office of Minority Affairs, this competitive week-long summer residential program is designed for upcoming high school sophomores, juniors and seniors. The program introduces students to the college experience by focusing on three learning environments: special aptitude development; personal and social development; and college/major exploration.
