The NSU 2025 Neuroscience Program is intended for high-school students who will be entering their junior or senior year in Fall 2026. The number of participants will be kept small (maximum 16) 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 – 12:30 PM on Monday through Friday for the two-week long program.
The Neuroscience program fee is $400. This covers tuition, supervision, program materials & equipment, daily mid-morning snack, and presentation luncheon.
