About TASS and Telluride Association: The Telluride Association Summer Seminar (TASS) offers free summer courses designed to help academically curious high school students sharpen their critical thinking, reading, and writing skills. Courses also aim to expose students to ideas and content that are not otherwise available in high school. TASS’s goal is to foster an intellectual community motivated by curiosity and a love of learning, rather than external rewards. Participants receive no grades or college credit; instead, we emphasize deep inquiry and collaborative exploration. As in all Telluride Association programs, TASS students’ tuition, housing, and meals are fully covered. We prioritize the admission of first-generation and low-income students from diverse backgrounds. More information can be found at tass.tellurideassociation.org.
