The 2012 Teen Science Scholars program is now closed for applications. Please check back in January 2013 for information about next year's program and how to apply. 

As a Teen Science Scholar, you will collaborate with professional scientists in the field and in the lab at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science. The Teen Science Scholars program is open to students who can demonstrate their commitment to science-related goals. This is a summer program where students will work approximately 120 hours between June 1 and August 31. Scheduling is flexible according to the science department you are selected to work in. This program will have a lasting impact as you learn more about science careers and conduct real research at a leading scientific institution. Research opportunities are available in anthropology, health sciences, paleontology and zoology.

The 2012 Teen Science Scholars Program is open to students who will be entering grades 10-12 in the fall of 2012. Each applicant must demonstrate an interest in science through their application, essay, and interview as well as a recommendation from a teacher or mentor. Students also should have leadership experience and a good academic background.
