Two high school seniors have the opportunity of a lifetime - participation
in the National Youth Science Camp (NYSC). Please encourage your students to
consider applying for this program. The deadline is February 17, 2012.
The students receive a full scholarship to exchange ideas with scientists
and other professionals from the academic and corporate worlds. The nearly
month-long experience includes lectures and hands-on research projects
presented by scientists from across the nation; overnight expeditions into
the National Forest; and a visit to Washington D.C. The selected delegates
must not only demonstrate academic achievement in science, but also show
potential for thoughtful scientific leadership.
The NYSC experience is offered at no cost to its participants so that
selected delegates may attend regardless of their financial status.
Educational and recreational programming, as well as meals, lodging, and
round-trip air passage on scheduled airlines are provided free of charge.
Delegates arrive in Charleston, West Virginia, on Thursday, June 27, 2012,
and depart on Sunday, July 21, 2012. The NYSC is held near Bartow in the
eastern mountains of West Virginia, within the Monongahela National Forest.
Application forms are available on the NYSC website at
http://2012.nysc.org/delegates/apply/ and must be submitted directly to
North Carolina's selection coordinator at the following address.
Applications must be received by Friday, February 17, 2012.
