<p>The University of Wisconsin-Madison has a plethora of free summer programs</p>

23

<p>A lot of the programs above are for people who are going to be 16 before the summer. Are there any for rising juniors, but who are still 15 after June?</p>

24

<p>any near or around maryland? or just REALLY prestigious programs?</p>

<p>for AAJA, is the application available yet? it says it will be up Jan-Feb 07 on the website, but I can't seem to find it...</p>

<p>thanks.</p>

<p>Anybody here attended Baylor university's High School Summer Science Research Program? If yes, please share ...</p>

<p>I love summer programs but I am in a predicament. You see my school has year-round schedule and if I enroll in one of these programs I will miss 1-2 weeks of school. Just asking would you recommend if missing school to have a once in a lifetime experience.</p>

<p>i think, that you should miss school, A week or two, won’t mess up your future. You can always make up school work, you can’t make up, like you said, a once in a life time experience.</p>

<p>I personally recommend Clark Scholars at Texas Tech. It is a 7-week program for rising seniors and college freshmen - you can do one-on-one research with a professor in pretty much ANY field you want. This year we had a whole spectrum of topics, from education to history to math to engineering. The whole program is free, plus you get paid a stipend. Everyone who entered either got Siemens or Intel semifinalist, so we have a pretty good track record. Admissions is competitive though - 180 people applied last year for 12 spots. Overall, it is an amazing program and I highly recommend it.</p>

<p>The website should be updated for 2011 soon: <a href=“http://www.clarkscholars.ttu.edu/[/url]”>http://www.clarkscholars.ttu.edu/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Hmm… this is a really old thread. Oh well, I suppose it’s still relevant so no harm.</p>

<p>TASS/TASP
RSI
NIH
Clark Scholars
Those have been mentioned.</p>

<p>There’s MITES is a minority-geared program hosted by MIT in schience, tech, and engineering. Free. Hard to get into. Heard it was good.</p>

<p>SIMR is a Stanford University research-based program. Very competitive, research experience is pretty helpful I think, not entirely sure. Also free.</p>

<p>SSP (Summer Science Program) is an excellent program in science that involves a research project however, it’s not an independently designed project. It’s still an amazing, but quite difficult program with awesomeness. Hmm… I’m not making much sense, but I went there and its awesome. It’s not inherently free though. I got a full scholarship based on financial need and their financial aid is supposed to be VERY generous so it should be effectively free if you have need.</p>

<p>Hmm… yeah. There’s a bunch more. The stickied thread at the top of this forum lists a lot of free programs (it’s actually geared towards “prestigious” programs, but most of those programs are prestigious because they’re competitive, and they’re competitive because they’re good and free).</p>
