Panther Prep is a one-week residential camp for high school students interested in attending the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. This program works to introduce students to the college environment by experiencing a week-long dorm stay, simulated college classrooms, assistance in college applications, and event discovery on campus.

By the end of the program, students will have compiled a portfolio designed to strengthen their knowledge of postsecondary education options, financial aid, and the college application process. This portfolio will be used to help students apply for their university of choice.

Panther Prep has 35 openings per summer for students going into the 9th and 12th grades. Current 11th-12th grade students are given preference to this program. Parents and students will attend an orientation prior to the start of the program, offered virtually and In-Person. The program fee is $800.00 for the session.
