The Clark Scholars Program at Texas Tech University is an intensive seven-week summer research program for highly accomplished high school juniors and seniors. Scholars work closely with Texas Tech faculty on hands-on research projects across a wide range of disciplines, from STEM to the humanities. In addition to research, students participate in seminars, discussions, and community service, gaining exposure to both academic and professional development. The program is highly selective and provides a unique opportunity to experience life as a university researcher.
