Opportunity for Juniors who Love Chemistry

The Welch Summer Science Program is designed for Texas students finishing their junior year in HS who are interested in pursuing research in chemistry during the summer. There are several locations throughout the state of Texas. Students are residents at the university where they're assigned. The website is http://www.utexas.edu/research/chemed/lagowski/WSSP/ and all the information on the application process, including printable applications, is available there.

The deadline for applying is February 28, 2008. The dates for the program for this year are June 8-July 12, 2008.

I have had students of mine attend this in the past and said it was an amazing and enriching experience. Let me know if you want to go and I'll write you a teacher recommendation.
