Young Scholars Program

The Clarkson School, a division of Clarkson University, will once again offer the Young Scholars Program during the summer of 2018. The week-long program will be held on Clarkson University's campus starting Sunday, July 22 through Saturday, July 28, 2018.  This program is for motivated and talented students who will be high school sophomores, juniors, seniors and first-year college students in fall 2018.

The Young Scholars Program provides a unique summer experience for students. Consistent with Clarkson's overall focus on interdisciplinary education, students are given a problem to examine and solve from three different perspectives.  This year's project is "The Future of BIG Decision Making - Are We Really Making the Best Choices?  Visit Clarkson.edu/young-scholars for more information

The deadline to apply is May 15, 2018. Complete an application to be considered for admission. Selections for remaining openings will be made on a rolling basis after the regular application deadline of May 15. Enrollment for Young Scholars is capped at 40 students. 

Students who successfully complete the program and meet the admission requirements will receive a $4,000 scholarship ($1,000 per year) towards tuition if they attend The Clarkson School or Clarkson University full time for their undergraduate education. Please note that $1,000 per year is the maximum scholarship amount a student can receive for attending Clarkson University summer programs, no matter how many programs he or she attends.
