What are good summer programs to participate in?

<p>I'm trying to think of a good summer program that I could do next year, but I'm drawing a blank. Preferably, it wouldn't cost much (below $1000) or would give out merit-based (not financial) scholarships. The cheapest one I could find was COSMOS (I'm a CA resident). Does anyone have any suggestions?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>Are you still in high school?</p>

<p>There's a great program at UC-Berkeley.</p>

<p>Investigate Telluride program.</p>

<p>If you live in the bay area, stanford offers this summer research program where they give you a stipend...of course, very competitive.</p>

<p>there's also RSI, which is free except transportation. Again, competitive.</p>

<p>I knew a girl who partcipated in COSMOS, and got accepted to Harvard this year. </p>

<p>Try hunting through the Summer Programs Forum, there are tons of threads like these, especially if you are looking into science programs.</p>
