Kean University - the Group Summer Scholars Research Program

We'd like to inform you of an excellent opportunity being offered to high school students interested in STEM fields this summer at Kean University - the Group Summer Scholars Research Program.  As key teachers, supervisors and administrators in your high schools and school districts, we hope that you can help us to disseminate information on this program to interested students.

The Group Summer Scholars Research Program (GSSRP) is a 6-week, hands-on research experience aimed at attracting and developing talented students who are interested in pursuing an education in a STEM field.  Upon entering the program students are divided into small research teams that are paired with a faculty mentor conducting authentic scientific research in Analytical Chemistry, Virtual Reality & Scientific Visualization, Microbiomes & Bioinformatics, Cancer Biology, Computational Mathematics and Modern Drug Discovery.  Students learn how to conduct basic and applied research during this program and develop a true appreciation of the scientific research process while contributing first hand to the acquisition of new scientific knowledge.  

The 2018 GSSRP runs from July 9 - August 16 and applications are now being accepted.  The application deadline is March 30th.  For more information, you can visit our website at: www.kean.edu/summer-scholar.  

Please note that scholarships are provided to low-income families and those with financial need to help cover the cost of the program ($1,500).
