Students receive personalized one-on-one mentorship from Ph.D. scholars from top universities, culminating in a college-level research paper and potential publication support.
The Lumiere Research Scholar Program offers high school students a unique opportunity to engage in independent academic research under the guidance of a Ph.D. mentor. Students work one-on-one with their mentors, typically from top universities like Harvard, Oxford, and MIT, to design, conduct, and write a scholarly paper. The program emphasizes developing critical thinking, problem-solving, and academic writing skills. Participants learn to explore a topic in depth, conduct literature reviews, develop methodologies, and produce a college-level research paper, usually around 15 pages in length. For those in the Premium Research and Publication Program, there's additional support for submitting their work to academic journals. The program aims to provide a structured introduction to research, allowing students to gain expertise in their chosen field and strengthen their academic profile for college admissions.
A typical week involves individual sessions with a Ph.D. mentor to discuss research progress, explore topics, identify research questions, and receive feedback on writing, complemented by workshops on the research process.
The program is best suited for high-performing, intellectually curious high school students (grades 9-12) who want a guided introduction to research and to develop their academic skills, especially those aiming to strengthen their college applications.
