<p>Summer is almost here. For once, I want to do something productive for my summer vacation. Can anyone reccomend a few summer science programs that accept high school freshmens and don't cost thousands of dollars to attend? </p>

<p>Greatly Appreciated.</p>

<p>i'm not too aware of any summer research programs for freshmen. one idea i have is that u can start by emailling professors at ur local university for an internship.</p>

<p>Here's a site with info about a summer intership for HS students in biomedical research. Freshmen MIGHT be allowed, but I'm not 100% sure.</p>

<p>I also found a site with links to info and applications to various summer internships that deal with the biological/natural sciences, some of them associated with colleges and universities. I hope you find one out of the list that freshmen are allowed to do and aren't too pricey.</p>

<p>Also, apply to one ASAP since the deadlines for some of them are coming up soon. It's also a good idea to ask one of your science teachers for a recommendation. Hope this helps!</p>
