The Copula Program is a six-week remote summer mentorship that connects ambitious high school students from underrepresented backgrounds with academic mentors. Since 2020, we’ve helped nearly 100 students explore new fields and create meaningful research projects.
Our mission is simple: empower students to go beyond the high school curriculum and discover their academic potential. With guidance from experienced mentors, participants gain hands-on research experience and the skills to pursue academic careers.
Over six weeks, students plan and create a capstone project alongside seasoned academic mentors. Along the way, students enjoy guest lectures, masterclasses from academic professionals, and skill-building workshops.
