APPLICATION LINK: FALL 2025 APPLICATION

Download Student Grade Reports (below), one for every class you are currently taking. Transcripts account for courses already completed in high school and any college classes. Ask your current instructors to estimate your current standing and grades. Candid comments are encouraged. Instructors may prefer to send the completed report directly to Dr. Michael Harnett, Scholars Program Director, at mharnett@glendale.edu. Scan, combine, and save all of the Grade Reports as a single PDF or Word document and upload it where indicated on the application form.

You may choose to submit the application on time without them. I will check GCC course histories for all applicants myself after the end of the semester. The benefit of a Grade Report is that it provides comments from your instructors.

APPLICATIONS WILL BE EVALUATED THOROUGHLY AND APPLICANTS WILL BE NOTIFIED OF THEIR ELIGIBILITY FOR INTERVIEWS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AFTER THE DUE DATE. 

Best wishes to all, - Dr. H.

NOTES: 

• Once again, applications submitted after the deadline, which is a firm deadline, will not be considered for admission. Plan to apply for the following semester if you are late.

• To be eligible for Program Completion and transfer agreements, all Scholars must complete at least 2 semesters in the program and be in Good standing. However, you are welcome to participate in the program without completing it. Also, the spirit of the program is not to rush through it but to have the best possible experience, which is typically for more than 1 year.

• All students who have completed high school are eligible for English 101H, which is recommended for all new Scholars (unless you have already taken English 101, 101H, or 101+) Note: ENGL 101 and 101H are renumbered ENGL C1000 and C1000H as of Fall, 2025. No placement is required for high-school graduates.

• Part of the application is the Entrance Interview, which will be arranged after preliminary evaluations of all applications, and all applicants who meet the application criteria will be invited, forming the final consequential step of the application process. Applicants will be emailed at the email address that they provide on the application. A Sign Up Genius will be set up to arrange the interview slots. GCC emails are preferred and will be required once you have one, adhering to FERPA regulations.
