Hi everyone! I'm from California and I'm trying to find some free summer programs for high school students like me that focus on academics or any interesting fields. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you!
Hi there! I'm glad you're interested in finding summer programs to enrich your academic interests. California has quite a few options when it comes to free summer programs for high school students. Here are a few suggestions to get you started:
1. COSMOS (California State Summer School for Mathematics and Science) is an excellent program offering a variety of STEM-related subjects. Though not entirely free, they provide financial aid based on need.
2. Stanford AI4All focuses on artificial intelligence, and they offer scholarships that cover the cost entirely for some participants.
3. UCLA's Summer College Immersion Program (SCIP) provides promising local high school students with an early college experience and has need-based scholarships available.
4. Bank of America Student Leaders Program focuses on leadership development and community engagement, with an eight-week paid summer internship at a local nonprofit organization.
These are just a few options, so I encourage you to research and apply to those that fit your interests. Good luck!
