KGI: Keck Graduate Institute of Applied Sciences (Claremont, CA)
Deadline: TBA
During the summer, Keck Graduate Institute offers a limited number of unpaid internship opportunities to exceptionally motivated and academically strong high school students to gain hands on research experience, and learn about the pursuit of a science or engineering related college education and professional career. This internship program runs in parallel with our Summer Undergraduate Research program. High school students work under the supervision of a KGI faculty mentor, initially shadow undergraduate students and other researchers at KGI, and are then able to engage in a small, well-defined research project matched to their skills and knowledge. High school students further are able to participate in REU program activities such as seminars, workshops, and field trips.

City of Hope: Eugene and Ruth Roberts Summer Student Academy
Deadline: TBA for Summer 2013
Inquiry-based Biomedical Research for Undergraduate and Advanced High School Students
City of Hope's Eugene and Ruth Roberts Summer Student Academy gives curious and hardworking students the opportunity to learn about science by actually doing it. Unlike traditional high school or college classes where the course of study is entirely determined by the instructor, City of Hope’s summer program students select their own research project according to their individual areas of interest. Selected participants then spend 10 weeks working full-time as a member of a biomedical research team.
Our world-renowned physicians and scientists serve as mentors who guide students in their research, while helping them develop their critical thinking skills. Weekly seminars allow students to present research findings to their peers, a good primer for what graduate and postdoctoral students do. There are workshops covering topics such as creating posters for research talks, biomedical ethics and other important subjects. Students interact with their peers and their research mentors on a continual basis, fostering valuable relationships for the future. Summer program participants also receive a stipend of $4,000 for their work.
For more information about the program and application process, please contact:
