<p>Also look into the LEAD Engineering Program. See the website leadprograms.org. My son did the LEAD business program and it was incredible. The majority of the program costs are covered by the organization. LEAD does an excellent job and has a wonderful reputation. Many of the LEAD participating colleges actively recruited my son giving him special applications or fee waivers too. Plus the dean in charge of the program he attended wrote reccomendations for him. </p>
<p>My DD is very much into science and we have found some great opportunties through the Association of Women in Science. Our local chapter as well as the local universities have some great summer study program so i would also look there.</p>
