Summer Science Programs in Massachusetts?

<p>[The</a> Forsyth Institute: Scientific Scholars Program](<a href=“http://www.forsyth.org/community/eossp.html]The”>http://www.forsyth.org/community/eossp.html) - April 10 deadline. Eight-week commuter-only program, you get paid if you’re a Boston Public School student, although other students may apply.</p>

<p>[Smith</a> College Summer Science and Engineering Program for High School Girls](<a href=“http://www.smith.edu/summerprograms/ssep/index.php]Smith”>http://www.smith.edu/summerprograms/ssep/index.php) - May 1 deadline.</p>

<p>[Roxbury</a> Latin Advanced Biotechnology Institute (ABI)](<a href=“http://www.biotech-institute.org/index.html]Roxbury”>http://www.biotech-institute.org/index.html) - I would probably call/email to see if they’re still accepting apps. Web site says “Rolling admission will admit a maximum of 20 students per session starting in early April”</p>

<p>A lot of other programs had deadlines in March, unfortunately. On the bright side, if you can commute to Boston via car/commuter rail, you might be able to arrange an informal internship with a professor conducting research at one of our top-notch hospitals or universities. Contact professors or departments directly and ask if they have any unpaid volunteer/intern opportunities for HS students. Keep it short, include your resume, and mention that you can send recommendations from science teachers. Here’s some links to college faculty pages and research centers/institutes:</p>
