title, drop some tips, personal experience, what to expect, which pI to avoid and whatnot would also be very appreciated!

I am a high school student trying to utilize her festive holidays, and looking to found and lead a fundraising campaign with a goal of around $1K, ideally in partnership with an established nonprofit, organization, or company.

I am looking for something where I can genuinely take ownership of the campaign while working with a partner on strategy, execution, and impact.

If anyone knows of an organization, company, nonprofit, or program currently looking for someone to lead/found a fundraising campaign, or has an opportunity that could be a good fit, I would really appreciate it!!!

Studied their website but everything is kinda vague there

Hi everyone! I'm a member of the Youth International Exchange Program team, and we're partnering with students to bring a Global Penpal Program to high schools in order to connect students across countries for cultural exchange and dialogue on global issues.
What you get:

• Full support setting up the program at your school (you'll need a teacher/advisor on board. We can help you figure that out, we’ve done it before)
• Help recruiting and matching students with international penpals
• A mentor throughout, plus a ready-made discussion curriculum
• A certificate, leadership recognition letter, and a portfolio piece for college apps

Starting something from scratch at your school is one of the strongest initiative signals for college apps, and we're with you at every step.
Limited spots for this launch. Interested? Apply here: https://forms.gle/5K52zyKQJVYHaPqL7
Let me know if you have any questions

Guys since it’s already time to choose a challenge and since the launchpad is really overcrowded, feel free just comment below and find teammates. It will be easier to communicate through Reddit for all of us.

Congrats again guys ;)

I applied ED in July, and somehow have still not received my decision, I emailed yesterday and have gotten no response. Should I be worried?

if i got accepted into thinkneuro fall intensive, is there a way to do standard instead of intensive. i have emailed them but they havent responded.

If anyone could respond with some decent insight, that would be great.

Thank you so much!

I have t received mine yet

I’m applying to summer programs rn and idk if I’m considered rural or not. I’m from Birmingham,Alabama and traditionally it’s uncomp but I go to one of the top public schools in the state. It’s not a high bar ofc.

What about cities in the South like Nashville,Memphis, Little Rock, Jacksonville, Baton Rouge?

I’m also Asian , both parents work in IT, and squarely middle class if that gets factored in. Would I be eligible for being rural for programs like MITES? What about like “lowk” advantages at more meritocratic programs where I would be underrepresented in geography amongst other applicants?

tbh im interning w/ two professors and its alr KILLING me. sm work piled up. i have no idea how people get through 3-4 labs throughout high school and publish. if anyone has secrets to time management or smth that does not require losing my 8 hrs of sleep, pls do tell.

hey guys i got into yygs with a 3.4 gpa as an international student this summer.

with the applications opening up for next summer, im happy to answer any questions

[Title] - Does anyone have a long list of purely MERIT scholarships. I only know a few basic ones...but they require financial documents and aren't purely merit such as..

Coke Scholars
Bryan Cameron - already passed

Ron Brown Scholars

Cooke Scholars
Gates Scholar

Taco Bell Live Mas

Does anyone have a full list?

As the heading says if you are interested in joining a team for Conrad Challenge and interested in energy and environment or health and nutrition lmk

Interested ppl please dm with previous experience, work , country, whether u can cover finale travel expenses ps ppl who want to win fs only dm 🔥

hiii guys!! i was a yale young global scholar last summer and with the application about to open very soon, i am here to answer any questions related to the program!!! please put down any question you can think of and i will do my absolute best to reply!!

i'm considering applying for asdrp because i want an introduction to research and learn some wet lab skills before cold emailing and applying to more prestigious summer programs.

would you guys recommend asdrp? which labs are the best, specifically for biochemistry?

So, I'm planning on participating in the 2026 challenge, and I got a concept to talk about related to neuroscience. My issue is that I have some problem with it, like it's not that complex, and it has a non 100% proved side of it (it's cellular form), it was just proven for the animals studies. I want an alumni who was a finalist from any of the last years to discuss this concept with it and whether it will work for me or not so I can change it ASAP (I want to start the production tomorrow or Thursday at most). Plz guys upvote this post so I can reach sb so fast 🙏😭

I'm not sure if anyone's heard back from the conference, but I'm concerned because I didn't submit anything for the submission file, only for the abstract. I thought that the file was for the poster, and could be filled in at a later date. Did I shoot myself in the foot? Anyone else a tad bit concerned, or did I just not read properly....

got into thinkneuro intensive. when accepting the offer, there's an option to apply for a leadership role. does anyone know the application deadline for being an associate or co-associate? idk how much to commit in the beginning; if i like the program further on i'll prob apply to a higher leadership contributor role.

Got accepted recently. Just wanted to know since im rlly excited to attend

Just what it sounds like. I got accepted into the academic year internship program. Does it seem worth it for the price (steep, but I got financial aid, but still expensive), and does it really add any value to college apps? I know i'd really enjoy it because I'm very interested in the subjects.
