RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES

WORK WITH TOP RESEARCHERS TO CREATE AN INDEPENDENT RESEARCH PAPER

Experience conducting research is an activity that especially impresses admissions committees. It demonstrates intellectual curiosity, drive, initiative, and intelligence.

We provide high school students around the world with access to valuable independent research projects. Working one-on-one with world-class global scholars, you’ll be able to delve into the cutting edge in your field of interest, whether it’s science, engineering, humanities, or languages.

At the end of the program, you’ll develop an independent research paper that you can use for college admissions or future research projects.

We also help students showcase their work through publications in high school and college-level journals, as well as competitions. Further, you can earn credit for your research project.
