MIT PRIMES

MIT PRIMES is a research program for high school sophomores and juniors living within driving distance of Boston that matches students with mentors for mathematical research projects. The program focuses on mathematics and computational biology and offers in-person mentorship for local students with teleconferencing for non-local communication. Students may apply concurrently to PRIMES Circle and PRIMES; applications are considered for MIT PRIMES first.

Sustained one-on-one mentorship, participation in original research projects, final paper and presentation, advanced mathematical development and potential recognition in competitions or publications.

High school juniors and sophomores (including home schooled) residing in the United States are eligible; local students live within driving distance from Boston and meet mentors in person while non-local students communicate via teleconferencing.

Apply through the online application portal (local and non-local students use the same portal).
