The Young Scholars Program (YSP) is a paid six-week summer internship program for high school students interested in agricultural, food, and environmental sciences. Selected students work 30 hours per week actively engaged in research under the guidance of a faculty mentor on the UGA Athens, Griffin or Tifton campus. During the program, students attend workshops and visit agricultural operations to gain exposure to the various fields of study and careers in agriculture.
"The Young Scholars Program taught me many things in order to help to successfully adapt to college life. I was taught good work ethic and responsibility from having to work daily in an academic laboratory. I learned how to manage my time well because I learned how to balance work time with free time. Most importantly, I was able to learn insider tips from other students who knew how to be successful in college. The most important tip of all: study much more than you did in high school, and then study some more."
We seek ambitious and hardworking students to participate in our Summer Residency Programs. The response questions provide applicants with the opportunity to showcase their strengths and outline the contributions they can make to the program. Since applicants are not able to return to the form, we highly encourage thoughtfully completing the short answer questions prior to starting the online form.
To complete your application, you must submit a copy of your transcript and one letter of recommendation to the address below. The letter must be from your school counselor or teacher who knows you well and can discuss your conduct, your ability to work in a team environment, and why you are a strong candidate for our Summer Residency Programs. The transcript and recommendation letter requirements are waived for students that have already been admitted and plan to attend the University of Georgia in the fall.
The Dean Stuart Feldman Summer Science Institute is designed to provide an introduction and overview of the many career opportunities available in the pharmacy profession.

Summer programs give your teenager the opportunity to learn and grow in ways that a traditional part-time job cannot. They go beyond the classroom and take students to visit local sites and hear directly from professionals, incorporate team building and personal reflection, and some even offer college credit.
Meet current students and faculty. One of our top recommendations for helping students get into their dream school is to connect with students who were successfully admitted to that school, and this may be one of the greatest advantages of attending a summer program at a school like UGA. By attending any of these programs, high school students can meet current students and can get the inside scoop about campus life and the college community.
Luckily, many summer programs are short, and the UGA programs are all a week-long, which allows students to balance other obligations, like volunteering or a part-time job, while participating in a summer program. By diversifying their activities, students will be able to impress college admissions officers with their developed passion and character.
