SUMMER ENRICHMENT PROGRAM OPPORTUNITY FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

The Simons-NYU Science Explorations program is a completely free three-week residential program in New York City for high school students interested in studying biology, chemistry, neural science, physics, and psychology, and is designed to give students a taste of college-level coursework and laboratory research in the life and physical sciences. The program is held on campus at New York University (all transportation/housing/dining costs will be covered) and is open to rising high school juniors, seniors, and college freshmen. We strongly encourage applications from individuals who are under-represented in the sciences, across race, ethnic and national origin, physical ability, gender and sexual identity, or any other legally protected basis.

Note that the deadline to apply is March 21, 2023, and that there is no cost to submit an application.
