The University of Georgia Young
Scholars Program is a six week summer internship
for high school students interested in science, agriculture, or engineering.
Through the program, young scientists are given the opportunity to study within
an agricultural field, such as entomology, food science, genetics, etc., and
learn about applied science in agriculture. Students work side by side with a
mentor, with whom they will interact on a daily basis to develop a research
project and create a presentation. At the end of the program, each participant
presents their research and findings.
The goal of the Young Scholars Program is to
encourage outstanding high school students to explore new areas and pursue a
future career in science.
As a high school student, you will have the
opportunity to earn money for six
weeks during the summer working with animals, plants, insects, machinery,
scientific lab equipment, etc
The program is opened to students that have
finished their sophomore year, juniors and seniors and are 16 years by June 1. The
program will be from June 3 to July 12, 2013. Application deadline is January 31, 2013
– transcript and two letters of recommendation from science, math or
agriculture teachers are required. Visit
