Program Eligibility and Selection
Up to 30 students who are currently high school sophomores or juniors will be selected for the program.* They should have an aptitude in mathematics and science as well as an interest in pursuing science or engineering studies.
The Young Scholars Program gives priority to students who come from low-income backgrounds. We require that participants live within a 50-mile radius of the Northeastern University campus. This is not a residential program. Students are expected to be on campus Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. They are responsible for their daily commute to Northeastern University during the program.
Applications are evaluated based on materials listed in the checklist; no previous work or study experience in a program of this nature is required. No application will be reviewed until completed, as noted in the checklist. Applications received after the deadline may not be reviewed. Accepted students will receive notification by Friday, May 3rd and must return a signed commitment letter and health form prior to the start of the program. Due to the intensity of the program, we cannot make provision for vacation or personal time except under extreme circumstances.
*The number of students in the program varies, as it is based upon continued funding from a variety of sources.
