Participants for the 2013 Summer Residential Program have been selected.

2010 Class

2012 participants and counselors on a field trip to the California Academy of Sciences.

We would like to thank every high school student who applied to our 2013 Summer Residential Program. We had over 300 students apply for 24 available placements. This exceptionally well-qualified applicant pool positively represented their respective high schools.

We would further like to thank each teacher, counselor, and other community member who advocated on behalf of these students. Your insightful, detailed, and thoughtful letters of recommendation were incredibly helpful, and are greatly appreciated.

Applications for our 2-day Discovering Medicine @ Stanford are no longer available and we are not accepting any additional applications at this time.

Please visit our Summer Opportunities page for a list of other programs and related opportunities that have been brought to our attention.
