Overview
Polygence Core Projects
Run by Polygence
Your own research project with a 1:1 PhD-level mentor: a paper, prototype, podcast or app.
10 one-hour 1:1 Zoom sessions with a mentor matched to your interests, 2 rounds of writing feedback, access to the Showcasing Opportunity Database, monthly Thinking Lab workshops, the chance to present at the Symposium of Rising Scholars, and the option to request a letter of recommendation and a Mastery Learning Record. New cohorts start every month; projects usually take 3–6 months. Optional add-ons: Launchpad (3 sessions with 3 mentors to find a topic), Showcasing Support for publishing, multimedia, presenting or science fairs, and UC Irvine college credit. Need-based scholarships are available to families with annual income under USD 90,000, plus a select number of full scholarships through the Polygence Scholars Foundation.
