The Summer Youth Institute (SYI) is a free program designed to introduce students to the legal system, expose them to careers in law, and provide them with practical tools for achieving their educational goals.
The SYI is open to students entering the 8th, 9th, or 10th grade next fall. Enrollment is limited to approximately 24 students.
This program seeks to enroll students who demonstrate motivation, maturity, and a genuine interest in pursuing academic goals.
Students must live and go to school in the City of Milwaukee.
First-generation college-bound students who use English as a second language are strongly encouraged to apply.
You can learn more about the program in an article in the most recent Marquette Lawyer magazine, "We're Here Now." and" 'Ya estamos aquí' | Marquette Today."
