Summer Science Program (SSP)
Intensive 39-day residential research program in astrophysics, biochemistry, or genomics [Financial aid available].
- Natural Sciences
- Computer Science
- Engineering
- Who can enter
- Ages 15–18 during the program · current juniors (some sophomores)
- What it costs
- The 2026 programme fee is $11,800, and it is scaled to what your family can afford — nobody pays more than that, many pay much less. The fee is subsidised by donations; ask what your number is rather than reading the headline.
- When it closes
- We could not confirm this year's date against the organiser's own page, so we are not showing a countdown for it. Last published: Mid-June to late July.
Sending this to someone sends the four facts above, not just a name — they will see who can enter and what it costs before they decide.
