Dear Students and Parents,

We are excited to invite you to apply for participation in the Stone Mountain-Lithonia Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated College Tour 2013. Students will be equipped with information needed to strategically prepare for college and beyond. The purpose of the College Tour Program is to provide high school students with the opportunity to visit institutions of higher learning. Students will gain early exposure to campus life to assist with making an informed decision about college and career choices.

High school students in Grades 9-12 are eligible and encouraged to apply. The College Tour will take place during Spring Break, April 8-11, 2013. The planned schedule of schools to visit (subject to change) includes Claflin University, South Carolina State University, University of South Carolina, Johnson C. Smith University, Shaw University, Wake Forest University, North Carolina A&T University, University of North Carolina and Duke University. The cost of the trip is $385 which includes ground transportation to the colleges/universities, lodging, College Tour T-shirt, workbook, and educational workshops (prior to the tour).

We invite you to attend our Information Meeting. It will be held on Sunday, September 16, 2012 at 3:00 pm at Decatur Library, 215 Sycamore Street, Decatur, Georgia 30030. This meeting is an opportunity for students and parents to learn more about the College Tour and the overall program.
