Brief Program Description

The Northeastern University Young Scholars Program offers future scientists and engineers a unique opportunity for hands-on experiences while still in high school. This six-week summer program is open to Greater Boston area applicants who have completed their sophomore or junior year in high school. It is a highly selective program, to which hundreds apply and less than 20 are accepted each year.

Students earn $150 per week working in research laboratories within Northeastern University's Colleges of Arts & Sciences and Engineering. Many assignments work with faculty affiliated with CenSSIS (Center for Subsurface Sensing and Imaging Systems).
