The University offers opportunities for selected research-oriented high school students to work with our science faculty in an on-campus summer research program – the Hofstra University Summer Science Research Program (HUSSRP).

Final project
Hofstra University's Summer Science Research Program offers high school students opportunities in science research under the guidance of professionals in science and mathematics. For more than 15 years, HUSSRP has provided selected research-oriented high school students the opportunity to work with our science faculty during the summer in an on-campus research program. The program runs from early July through mid-August culminating in a science "poster session" in early fall where students display the work they performed during the summer. The poster session is open to all students in the program, their families, and their teachers. Students are selected for this program based on their academic qualifications, a teacher's recommendation, and the availability of research mentors in their area of interest.
Selected students will be matched with a participating faculty member based on the student’s research preference and faculty availability. Before being accepted into the program, all students for whom there is a faculty match will be invited to campus for a personal interview to discuss the student’s specific research project. On Wednesday, July 5, 2023, all accepted students must attend a one-hour orientation and laboratory safety session.
Poster Session
The capstone experience of the Hofstra University Summer Science Research Program (HUSSRP) participants comes when students present posters highlighting their summer research activities at a reception for their families, friends, and teachers. Many HUSSRP students go on to enter their research posters in science competitions locally and nationally.
Currently, there is no residential option for the Summer Science Research Program. Hofstra University reserves the right to alter the policy and schedule of charges without prior notice.
The summer 2023 program will run Monday through Thursday from July 5 to August 11, 2023. Students are expected to attend a weekly seminar/lunch on Wednesdays from noon to 1 p.m., otherwise each student will negotiate a work schedule with their respective faculty mentor. Students return to campus for a late afternoon poster session to present the results of their research in early fall (date to be determined).
Students must be enrolled in 10th or 11th grade at the time the application is submitted;
Have had at least one year of a high school laboratory-based science course;
Have demonstrated an interest in the sciences;
Be willing and able to commit six weeks to full-time scientific research; and
Have demonstrated the ability to work independently.

The following information must be included in the application form:
1 - A statement from the student explaining why they want to engage in a science research project;
2 - A letter of recommendation and commitment from a science or math teacher;
3 - Students will be asked to select, in order of preference, three research areas in which they would like to participate.
4 - A nonrefundable $50 application fee.
Review of applications will be performed by a committee consisting of each of the faculty members participating in the program. Selected students may be asked to meet with their prospective research mentor in late May.
Deadline
Reviews of applications will begin in April.
Because we receive many more applications than we have available spots in the program, we cannot guarantee acceptance, even for highly qualified candidates.
