Mentorship Program vs. Summer Research & Innovation Program
Mentorship Program vs. Summer Research & Innovation Program
The Mentorship Program is a 45+ 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.
