Science Internship Program (SIP) [Acceptance Rate: ~5%]

Are there scholarships? The academic program fee for SIP is $4,000 (this includes the $400 deposit). There is also an application fee of $60 and optional housing at $600/week during the weekdays.

SIP is a summer-long (9 week) research internship program for high school students in STEAM fields.

UCSC SIP is a well-regarded summer research internship program that provides high school students with an opportunity to gain hands-on experience in STEM fields. While it is not as widely-known as some other nationally recognized programs, it is still respected for its strong emphasis on research and mentorship.

The University of California Santa Cruz's Summer Internship Program (UCSC SIP) is indeed a very competitive program. They receive a large number of applications each year and the acceptance rate tends to be quite low.

About 1,300 students applied for the roughly 250 intern spots that will be available this summer. SIP places motivated high school students in research groups, where they work as members of a real scientific research team.

Selection process

Many NIH research groups are unable to accommodate high school students due to safety concerns, and the acceptance rate of HS-SIP is ~7%.

Our platform data featuring more than 1,600 recruiters revealed that while the average minimum GPA for STEM roles was 3.65, and the average minimum GPA for non-STEM roles was 3.58, only a small share of roles on our platform actually had a GPA qualification attached.

Hey, Is it hard to get into ucsc sip? About a 10% acceptance rate. 3,000 kids apply for 300 spots. Very solid program.

What program is UCSC known for? ›

The school is nationally known for astronomy and space sciences programs.

I picked SIP as I was advised that SIP is real research and COSMOS is just classes. I was also advised that SIP is ranked higher than COSMOS. I regret not going to COSMOS as when I look at stats , all COSMOS students land great college acceptances and colleges seem to love students who have done COSMOS.

Although UCSC SIP does not provide any academic credit, it is regarded as a prestigious research program for high school students. UCSC SIP interns have gone on to win publications and prizes at some of the most competitive research competitions in the world.

Being enrolled in the Science Co-op Program allows you to apply your knowledge and skills, gain a competitive edge through real industry experience, develop your networks, discover career options, and earn a full-time salary.

To ensure that your SIP order is placed with the exchange on the chosen date, your SIP amount is deducted one bank working day in advance. This way, you get the NAV as applicable on the order date.

The best date to make SIP is when the investor receives money in his/her bank account like salary credit date. The study also points out that in the long-term it hardly matters if the investors invest daily, weekly, monthly SIP frequencies. All these three frequencies gave similar returns.
