Apply to the Summer 2026 Founding Cohort

The Summer 2026 founding cohort will include 3-4 students who are curious about complex ideas and interested in developing an original research question.

Applications are reviewed individually until the cohort is filled.

Young Scholars Research Studio is designed for students who enjoy thinking deeply about questions and exploring ideas that may not yet have clear answers. Your responses do not need to be perfect or fully developed. We are most interested in your curiosity, clarity of thought, and willingness to explore a question carefully.
