Students receive personalized 1-on-1 mentorship from PhDs from top universities like Harvard, Oxford, Stanford, and MIT, culminating in a publishable-quality research paper.
The Lumiere Research Scholar Program offers high school students a unique opportunity to conduct independent research across a wide array of subjects, including data science, computer science, biology, economics, and humanities. Students are paired with a PhD mentor from a top university for personalized 1-on-1 guidance throughout the 12-week program. The core activity involves designing, researching, and writing a scholarly paper. Participants develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and advanced writing skills. Outcomes include a college-level research paper, which can be used for university applications, and the potential for publication in academic journals or presentation at the Lumiere Research Symposium. The program emphasizes building expertise in a chosen topic and fostering relationships with PhD researchers.
A typical day involves independent research, reading, writing, and scheduled one-on-one virtual meetings with a PhD mentor to discuss progress, refine research questions, and receive feedback on their scholarly paper.
This program is best for high-performing, intellectually curious, and self-motivated high school students (grades 9-12) with a strong academic background (typically a GPA of 3.3 or higher) who are eager to engage in rigorous academic research and produce a college-level paper.
