Tau Mu Lambda's High School Research Program offers high school students opportunities in STEM and science research under the guidance of university researchers. For more than 15 years, TMLHSRP has provided selected research-oriented high school students the opportunity to work with researchers during the Fall, Spring, and Summer.
How to Apply
Students must submit an online application at this link: https://taumulambda.com/research
Admission is competitive, based on academic performance and potential to succeed in research.
The Research Scholars Program helps students:
1. Write and publish an original research paper
2. Present and place at a research symposium
3. Build a relationship with a university research lab to aid in college admissions
Program Overview:
Each participant is carefully matched with a graduate Research Advisor based on shared STEM interests. Together, they work on a focused research project that may span areas such as biology, neuroscience, chemistry chemistry, computer science, engineering, mathematics, or physics.
Research Advisors are hold advanced degrees in fields of STEM and are active members of a top 25 university lab, with a passion for mentoring and guiding young scientists.
Students in the research program meet with their Research Advisor twice per week, at a time that fits the students schedule, for one hour. During this time, the Research Advisor will introduce research concepts and engage in collaborative work and research with the student.
At the end of each session, the Research Advisor will provide homework for the student to complete before their next session.
At the end of the program, all students will have authored an original research paper. The Research Advisor will work to submit this paper for publication in academic journals and for recognition at research symposiums local to your student.
Program Format:
The Research Program happens at three times each year:
1. Spring: 12-weeks starting Feb 17 or Mar 17
2.Summer: 12 weeks starting June 16
3. Fall: 12 weeks starting Sept 22
Students can generally expect to spend around 2-5 hours per week on their project.
Weekly Seminars: In addition to one-on-one mentoring, students attend a weekly virtual seminar. These seminars feature guest speakers, discussions on research ethics, and tips for effective science communication.
Tuition and Fees:
A tuition fee of $2,985 is required for participation in this virtual program. This fee covers individualized mentorship, digital resources, and access to the final symposium event. A limited number of need-based scholarships may be available. $100 refundable deposit due upon acceptance. Remaining $2,885 due 7 days after your student starts their program.
Tuition is not due until after the student has met their Research Advisor and begun working on their project.
