Thinking about simplifying your financial life? If you have old retirement plan accounts scattered about, consolidating them into your current retirement plan could be a smart move.

Do you know a high school student eager to explore their academic passions, experience college life firsthand, and deepen their faith this summer? The Pre-College Summer Institute (PCI) at George Fox University offers a week-long, immersive academic camp designed to prepare students for college and beyond.
Students will earn college credit with hands-on learning experiences that deepen their understanding and equip them with crucial skills in fields such as nursing, interior design, engineering, theatre, and more.
By connecting with professors and undergraduate TAs, utilizing our premier recreation facilities, and sleeping in the dorms, the week offers students a true taste of college life, all within the context of George Fox’s Christ-centered mission. Better yet, students who attend PCI are awarded an annual $1,000 scholarship when they enroll as an undergraduate student at George Fox.
