The NSU 2024 Neuroscience Program is intended for high-school students who will be entering their junior or senior year in fall, 2024. The number of participants will be kept small (maximum 18) due to limited lab space and to facilitate individualized attention and optimal use of equipment.
The Neuroscience program fee is $400. This covers tuition, supervision, program materials & equipment, daily mid-morning snack, and presentation luncheon.
