The Jackson Laboratory Summer Student Program is a 10-week residential research experience for graduating high school seniors and undergraduate students interested in genetics and genomics. Offered at two campuses in Bar Harbor, Maine and Farmington, Connecticut, participants work directly alongside experienced scientific mentors on real, ongoing research projects while developing their own contributions to the lab. The program emphasizes hands-on discovery, scientific communication, and professional development, giving students a genuine preview of life as a research scientist. Accepted students receive a $7,500 stipend plus room, board, and travel, making this one of the most immersive and well-supported summer science opportunities available to young researchers.
