High School Opportunities

UMass Amherst Summer Programs invites motivated high school students to participate in academic and research-based STEM programs for the summer! We welcome nominations from teachers and questions from students.

Those looking to experience life at a prestigious university like Notre Dame can look no further than the Summer Scholars program. Scholars choose from a lengthy list of interesting programs of study, then enjoy two intense weeks of coursework, though plenty of free time is also included so as to experience what life is really like on a college campus. Some examples of programs from which participants can choose include Archaeology: Exploring the Foundations of Notre Dame, Astronomy: Investigating Our Universe, Life Sciences, and so much more.

Students participating in Carleton College's Summer Science Institute don't just learn about science, they ,do science!, The three-week program, which is led by Carleton faculty members and students, includes a fun and informative hands-on component during which students design a collaborative research project, gather data, run experiments, and then present at the Institute's final research symposium.

Generous need-based no cost participation in the Summer Scholars Program located at several campuses, including U of Colorado, New Mexico Tech, Purdue, and Indiana U. This prestigious pre-college summer science program (co-sponsored by MIT, University of Colorado Boulder (pictured), Caltech, and New Mexico Institute of Technology) provides students with the opportunity to immerse themselves in a central research project in either astrophysics or biochemistry. In the astrophysics program, teams observe various astronomical patterns to determine the orbit of a near-earth asteroid, while in the biochemistry program, teams design a small molecule that can inhibit an enzyme from a fungal crop pathogen. SSP is a residential immersion into experimental science, designed to challenge and inspire talented rising seniors from around the world. Working in teams of three, participants complete a research project from beginning to end: either in Astrophysics, near-earth asteroid imaging and orbit determination, or Biochemistry, fungal enzyme inhibition and drug discovery. Each team acquires its own original data and performs its own analysis. Field trips and guest speakers round out an intense 39-day schedule.
