▌ Editor's read The Garcia Research Scholar Program is a highly selective, seven-week summer research program for high school students, operated by Stony Brook University. Founded in 1998 by Professor Miriam Rafailovich, the program has been running for 29 years, offering students the opportunity to conduct research in university labs. The program is described as an 'intensive, hands-on research program' where students work on projects in science and engineering, often leading to publications and presentations. It is an overnight program, with students residing on the Stony Brook University campus. The program's Facebook page, 'GarciaSummerScholars,' is active. Google reviews for Stony Brook University generally reflect positively on the institution, but specific reviews for the Garcia program are not readily available as a separate entity. The program is not ACA accredited, which is typical for university-run academic research programs.

Who thrives here Ages 16–18

Garcia Research Scholar Program for High School Students serves high-school campers, which means the program is competing against summer jobs, college visits, internships, and residential overnight options. The case for a day camp at this age is usually a CIT (counselor-in-training) track, deep specialization in academic, or a portfolio item parents and kids both value. Programs that don't articulate one of those three usually lose this age band by 9th grade.
