Summer Neuroscience Program (SNP) introduces NYC public high schoolers to the wonders of cutting-edge neuroscience.
For two weeks in the summer, we bring students to the Rockefeller University campus (all expenses paid) for a course of highly interactive lectures, activities, and experiments led by practicing scientists. Our goal is to give students a memorable summer experience that gets them excited and confident about science and research. SNP is aimed as an introduction to research science, and we encourage students with otherwise limited opportunities to explore their scientific interests to apply.SNP 2024 will happen fully in person on August 12-23, 2024 from 9:30am-4pm. Transportation expenses to and from Rockefeller Monday-Friday during the program duration will be covered by the program.Each year, we collect applications as broadly as possible from NYC public high schools. We seek motivated, mature, and inquisitive students, irrespective of previous scholastic achievement or experience with science. We don’t necessarily look for “straight A” students, but rather those who flourish when allowed to exercise their creativity, curiosity, and independence. We encourage applications from high-need schools where students may have more limited opportunities to pursue their interest in science.
