"Promoting the representation of ethnic minority and low-income groups in the health professions." Congratulations to the latest 24 students to attend the SMYSP Summer Residential Program!Congratulations to the 24 finalists selected for SMYSP's 2009 Summer Residential Program. These 24 sophomore and junior high school students were selected from a very strong pool of over 330 applicants. Congratulations on your hard work and perseverance! We would like to thank every student, parent, guardian, educator, mentor, or other supporter for your interest and investment in our program. We have received many applications from qualified students, making the task of selecting only 24 participants very difficult. Thank you. Applications for our 2010 program will become available at the end of the year. If you are a current freshman or sophomore, please check back at that time. If you would like to learn more about how you can become a successful college applicant, visit our Academic Toolbox. These pages discuss the things you need to know in order to succeed in college.
