Fellowships for Rising Seniors

The goal of the STEM Institute is to develop students with the confidence, passion, persistence, and curiosity to explore the empirical world and develop innovative habits of mind.

The STEM fellowship program opens not only minds and doors, but also fields of possibility in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Taking place during the summer before senior year, students select a topic they would like to explore further and engage in an authentic, real-world opportunity. Students build toward that experience through research and reflection, in consultation with the STEM Director and their on-site mentor. The 80-hour on-site experience will be followed by the creation or execution of a project or artifact, the details of which will be developed as part of their fellowship.
