<p>Entomom: thanks for putting the tag on your post. Between the link in my first paragraph and your post it should cover many of the summer programs. </p>
<p>Tejana13. It looks like you and I will be around much longer since I too have a 9th grader interested in Science. It has been my experience that most scholarship summer programs have applications deadlines falling between Dec and Feb. I posted this one since the deadline is May and they just announced it and it is targeted to the younger ages. Lead is wonderful and if your son can get into this program it would be great. My DD already has summer plans (she is going to Australie with People to People (while I’ll be eating beans the rest of the summer to pay for it) and she is in a girls only oriented science 4 year program here in San Diego called BEWISE ([BE</a> WiSE — San Diego Science Alliance](<a href=“http://sdsa.org/programs/be-wise/programs/be-wise/be%20wise]BE”>http://sdsa.org/programs/be-wise/programs/be-wise/be%20wise)) She has applied to attend a computer programing bootcamp at UCSD through Bewise which she hopes to find out this week if she is accepted. Bewise is wonderful like LEAD in that it is either free or a discount. My DD hopes to apply next year to LEAD’s engineering program. </p>
<p>Check out the listings on the two threads in college confidenital and start making a list for your son. MiTES; Cosmo; Clark: Lead etc are just some of the science math summer programs out there.</p>
