Publication

Hello everyone ! My Kid had a publication on one of the research he had conducted under a college professor. The research was his idea and that’s why the professor gave him first publication he got access to the professor through the school network. I wanted to ask how does he highlight it for his application? The school counselors are not much help. I had even read some where that the research can be entered for some scholarships? My kid is interested in med school . Thank you in advance!
