Covid-19 Disclaimer
GSTEM will be offered in-person for Summer 2023 however, we must remain flexible in our response to developments related to COVID-19. The health and safety of our students, faculty, and staff is our first priority. If we are unable to conduct the program on campus as planned, we will shift to remote instruction. Any changes to program format will be communicated promptly if and when they are confirmed.
Who we are
GSTEM is an NYU summer research program for talented high school students who want to learn in an inclusive, supportive environment. Our program strives to break down barriers and empower those who have been historically underrepresented in STEM—especially girls and other minorities. We were founded in 2013 by the world-renowned Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences here at NYU. Through a deep immersion into science and access to an extensive peer network, we offer opportunities for an incredible summer.
The Program
Research
Following a week of orientation, students begin with their STEM mentor and work on an intensive research project for 5 weeks.
Field Trips
Previous weekly field trips have included the Museum of Math, Google, The Federal Reserve, The Brooklyn Bridge, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and Rent the Runway.
Women in STEM
Students are introduced to pioneering women in STEM who share their research and their personal trajectories on success and struggles.
Peer Network
Students complete the program having met other like-minded and talented thinkers. The relationships forged with fellow students last well beyond the program.
Skill Sets
In addition to learning laboratory techniques and programming skills, students attend workshops in scientific writing and presenting.
Things to know before applying
Requirements
The program is open to current juniors with a high aptitude in STEM and an interest in learning in an environment that celebrates diverse perspectives in the sciences. As of 2024 we are no longer accepting sophomores to our program. We admit 40 students each summer.
School Credits
The summer program is a non-credit program however students will receive an official NYU transcript upon completion of the program. We are not Pass/Fail. Students receive a letter grade on their transcript.
NYU Housing
Any student interested in living on-campus during the summer may request housing. Additional information will be shared through the application process. Six weeks of housing in 2024 (which includes a meal plan) cost an additional $3,702. (The 2025 cost will be announced soon.)
International Students
Unfortunately, we are unable to admit international students to the program who are not already in the U.S. on an F-1 student visa.
Financial Aid
We offer financial assistance and we strongly encourage applicants to apply if support is needed. Our program cost for 2025 is $5,500.
