The NSU 2026 Neuroscience Training Program is intended for high school students who will be entering their junior or senior year in Fall 2027. The number of participants will be kept small (~15) due to limited lab space and to facilitate individualized attention and optimal use of equipment. Trainees must be available to attend each of the daily sessions 9:00 am – 3:00 pm. Students will be released early (at ~2pm) on Friday following the Luncheon.
The Neuroscience program fee is $450. This covers tuition, supervision, program materials & equipment, and a hosted luncheon with awards ceremony.
