Young scholars work with researchers
Two Pike County students are among 28 south metro area high school students selected for this summer’s Young Scholar Summer Internship Program at the University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences campus in Griffin.
The program targets students with a high aptitude in math and science related subjects. Interns work side by side with CAES researchers for six weeks, learn job responsibility and are paid for up to 40 hours of work per week.
Working with their mentor-scientist, the students develop a science project and present reports on their projects and essays detailing their summer internship experience.
