Plainview-Old Bethpage Central School District / District ...



Dear Parents and Students,It is time for all research students to begin planning their summer. While summer science research is not mandatory until junior year, it is highly recommended. There are two paths to follow. The first is to procure a local mentor through direct contact. All 10th and 11th grade students have been introduced to this process in research. An information packet entitled “How to Find a Mentor” can be found on the district website under the research department. The second involves applying to national programs. Below is a comprehensive list of opportunities available to our students. POB students have participated in many of these programs. Each program is unique; some are free, some require payment. I have tried to update each program, but double check my details on their websites, especially deadlines!If a program is of interest, you can contact me to discuss it further and to assist in the application writing process. Watch for deadlines!!
