Chicago: Young Scholars Program

We are pleased to announce that we were given permission to extend the deadline for Summer 2019 Young Scholars Program applications!
If you are still interested in joining us this July, you have until Sunday, April 7th to submit your material.


Young Scholars Program (YSP) at the University of Chicago offers enthusiastic and talented math students from seventh through twelfth grades an opportunity to strengthen their mathematical powers through a deep experience in mathematical thought and effort. Our intention is to broaden and enrich the students' understanding of mathematics rather than to accelerate them through the standard high school curriculum.

The mathematical content of the program for Summer 2019 will be topics in geometry.

All components use active learning techniques and ask students to work through challenging problems with the guidance of faculty, instructors, and undergraduate counselors.
