West Point’s Summer Leaders Experience (SLE)

At West Point we develop Leaders of Character, and we are looking for high-achieving young people who are in great standing with their school and community, and who want to challenge themselves. Please see the attached flyer to share with your students, educators, and parents!

What is SLE?

  • SLE is a one-week program for current Juniors (High School Class of 2025) to visit West Point in June.
  • Students in this program get to spend the week with our cadets, live in the barracks, and eat in the mess hall.
  • Learn about West Point’s world class academics by trying 5 of our 17 academic workshops.
  • Learn about military training and becoming a Leader of Character at West Point by completing two military days to include rappelling, Zodiac boats, combatives (like Jiu-Jitsu) training and more!
  • Challenge themselves physically by attempting the Candidate Fitness Assessment, conducting physical training, and sports.
  • Complete their admissions interview with a cadet.
  • Spend the week making friends with other students from all over the US who are applying to West Point.

Minnesota reciprocity for SD students is not being renewed 

This week, the SD Board of Regents shared the following statement:

The reciprocity agreement between SD and MN is not being renewed for academic year 2024 – 2025 and will begin winding down for students currently enrolled under the agreement.  For students currently enrolled under the existing reciprocity agreement, the process for setting reciprocal rates will remain in effect as they work towards completion of their degree(s).  New MN students enrolling at one of South Dakota’s public universities starting in Summer 2024 will receive the in-state SD rate, which is a cheaper rate than they would have received under the MN reciprocity agreement.  New SD students looking to enroll at an institution in MN starting in Fall 2024 will be charged the rate set by MN for those students.  SD has no part in setting rates for SD students attending MN institutions. For additional insight into this topic, see the below questions and responses. For questions on Minnesota tuition rates, please contact the specific institution, Minnesota State, or the University of Minnesota Board of Regents.

It’s scholarship season! Seniors, check out the SD Scholarship Bulletin Board on Our Dakota Dreams. This feature not only shows state-offered scholarships (also featured on the SD Scholarships page), but also provides a platform for third-party entities to post their scholarships.
