Students gain substantive pre-college scientific research experience under the direct tutelage of university faculty, earning high school science elective credits.
The Weston Science Scholars Program offers high-achieving high school students a unique summer experience in scientific research. Participants engage in hands-on laboratory work under the guidance of Montclair State University faculty, conducting intensive scientific research projects. The program emphasizes learning science by doing science, allowing students to develop critical thinking, experimental design, and data analysis skills. Scholars also explore a relevant mathematics component and participate in mini-laboratory activities or workshops. The program aims to foster a community of thinkers who ask tough questions and embrace new ideas, preparing students for collegiate-level study in STEM fields. Upon completion, students can earn 7.5 high school science elective credits.
A typical day involves hands-on participation in a laboratory, conducting scientific research with Montclair State University faculty, from 8:30 AM to 2:00 PM, with Fridays often including field trips from 9:00 AM to 2:00 or 3:00 PM.
This program is best for academically talented and high-achieving high school students in 9th, 10th, and 11th grades with a serious interest and superior skills in science, mathematics, and related fields.
