About the Welch Summer Scholars Program
The Welch Summer Scholars Program (WSSP), sponsored by the Robert A. Welch Foundation of Texas, began more than 30 years ago. To date, the WSSP has provided nearly 2,000 Texas high school students with unique opportunities to participate in hands-on, college-level research projects using state-of-the-art equipment and modern technology not typically found in high-school classrooms. The program is open only to sophomore and junior students who attend high school in Texas and selected individuals will participate in a five-week summer residency program engaging in one-on-one mentoring and first-hand research training with professors and graduate students at one of five Texas universities. Participating institutions are The University of Texas at Austin, The University of Texas at Arlington, The University of Texas at Dallas, The University of Houston and Texas Tech University. |
