APPLICATION DETAILS
The application deadline for this year's program is TBD. We will do our best to accommodate your application depending on the circumstances.
Please note that the Young Researchers Program is only for high school rising senior students in the Los Angeles, Lynwood, Compton, or Inglewood Unified School Districts (charter schools okay!). Unfortunately, we are not able to accept applications from students who reside outside of these districts. Funding is very limited and until then we cannot make any exceptions.
The application is an electronic form that can be completed and submitted online. However, if you do not have regular access to a computer please contact us for other options.
Applications are judged holistically and collectively by the entire YRP team. Due to the nature of the application decision process, we cannot discuss specific details for those who were not selected. If you are eligible (see below) we highly encourage you to apply.
