I actually attended this program in July 2015 with the Heads in the Game Concussion Research Program with Dr. Morrison and I would definitely recommend he take the opportunity. My experience in that program is what pointed me on my career path, which is to eventually be a biomedical engineer. A lot of my friends who were in for-credit courses had class until about noon, with the rest of the time available to explore campus. I feel much more prepared in what to expect this fall because of how I had to take care of myself for that month. He should be honored to be one of the 200. To put in perspective the types of kids I was around, many are returning to UM or MSU, but there are several extraordinary kids. My roommate is going to the Naval Academy in Annapolis because his senator was so impressed with our research and gave him his reccomendation. My room next door neighbor was 1 of 2 in a BioFuels research program (he was from Mobile) and was accepted and will attend Harvard in the fall. I would love to steer him towards the concussion research program, but you can tgo wrong with any of them. Keep in mind though, the Concussion research application is separate from SCHS and Dr. Morrison, Dr. Waddell, Dr. Valiant and their associates review wthose applications personally. That program is free due to support funding from X2 Biosystems (or at least it was in its first year) no need for a scholarship. If you have any questions, feel free to reply to me.
