Research, Internships, Awards, Summer Programs: What Should Already Be on Your Radar?
Research, Internships, Awards, Summer Programs: What Should Already Be on Your Radar?
A Free Virtual Event for Parents and Students in 9th to 11th Grade
Thursday, November 12, at 5:30 PM PT / 8:30 PM ET
Some high school students seem to keep finding opportunities nobody else knew existed.
They are working with professors, entering competitions, publishing their work, applying for fellowships, landing internships, and finding summer programs months before everyone else starts looking.
Most families are left wondering: where are they finding all of this, and what should already be on our radar?
During this virtual event, we’ll show you what kinds of opportunities are worth knowing about now and how to figure out which ones actually make sense for your student.
You’ll get a live look at The FlightPlan, a college counseling membership from Curious Cardinals, and see how it helps students find opportunities based on their actual interests, experience, grade level, and goals.
We’ll cover:
Research programs, internships, competitions, awards, publications, fellowships, and summer programs
Which opportunities require more lead time than families expect
How to find options beyond the same generic lists everyone else is searching
How to tell whether an opportunity is actually worthwhile
What makes a student a stronger candidate
How an interest or project your child already has can lead to a much bigger next step
A student interested in neuroscience should not be seeing the same opportunities as a student building robots, writing short stories, or starting a business.
The right opportunities should fit the student.
You’ll leave knowing what should already be on your radar and where your child may have opportunities you have not found yet.
