We are grateful to all who have supported and participated in the SOAR (Summer of Academic Refinement) program over the years. As part of the Church Educational System, BYU strives to be a place where students belong and thrive both academically and spiritually.

 While the SOAR program won’t continue in its current form, the university’s commitment to supporting our students, including first-generation students, remains strong. University leadership is exploring ways to strengthen student success and college preparedness in ways that reflect BYU’s unique spiritual and educational mission.
