Mentorship Program vs. Summer Research & Innovation Program
The Mentorship Program is a 40+ year tradition and is recognized for its unique collaboration with over 200 volunteer mentors per year that provide project-based opportunities for students. The program is designed for students with little or no previous experience and relies on NCSSM instructors to provide the support and instruction necessary for high school students to navigate the experience with confidence, professionalism, and self-reliance.
There are three (3) distinct Mentorship tracks to which students can apply: Mentorship 1 (M1, summer), Mentorship 2 (M2, senior year), or M3 (summer + senior year).
The Summer Research & Innovation Program (SRIP) courses are faculty-led, summer intensive opportunities in a wide variety of fields. These are open to rising NCSSM seniors in both the residential and online programs and offered at no cost to students.
**Both our Durham and Morganton campuses offer programs each summer, including faculty-led courses and summer Mentorship. These combined opportunities are referred to as “SRIP” collectively. Participation is by application and includes housing, academic instruction, student life instruction, and program administration at no cost (with the exception of family responsibility to pay for meals throughout the program dates).

NCSSM Durham Mentorship partners primarily focus on academic research projects with mentors at Duke University, NC State University, UNC-Chapel Hill and other partnering organizations such as RTI International. The process of securing a mentor is administered as part of the spring course by the Director of Mentorship and Research and is dependent on student's taking ownership of the mentor search procedures and deadlines.
*Students do NOT ask mentors directly at any point before or during the Mentorship Program. MORGANTON CAMPUS
