Waksman Student Scholars Program (WSSP)

The Waksman Student Scholars Program (WSSP) is a year-long STEM opportunity run by Rutgers University's Waksman Institute of Microbiology. It enables high school students and their teachers to carry out an authentic research project in molecular biology and bioinformatics and to publish their findings. The program starts with summer institutes for teachers and one or two of their students, then continuing during the academic year at the participating high school, where additional students can join through a class or club.

Program spans summer institutes for teachers and students and ongoing activities at the high school level.

High school students whose science teachers participate in WSSP; students join through the summer institute with their teacher or via the class or club back at school.
