Stanford Medical Youth Science Program (SMYSP)

SMYSP is an academic enrichment program for low-income, first-generation high school juniors in Northern California. Students take part in hospital internships, anatomy labs, lectures, public health research, and career workshops. They also receive mentorship from faculty, health professionals, and college students to support their college and medical career goals.

The Stanford Medical Youth Science Program is a five-week immersive enrichment program focused on science and medicine that is open to low-income, first-generation high school juniors who live in Northern California.

When students attend the Stanford Medical Youth Science Program, not only do they learn and develop as a student, but they are mentored and empowered to begin their path to college and medical careers. We build a cohort of passionate, like-minded peers, who will become the next generation of health leaders.

SMYSP is a tuition-free program. We rely on donations to increase opportunity and access for aspiring first generation college students.
