The Lincoln Foundation's summer Math and Science Program provides students entering grades 9-12 a unique educational opportunity which prepares them for their next level of science and mathematics courses.  Activities include hands on experience and field trips.  The program's environment promotes and encourages challenging work, self-reliance, and scientific inquiry.  The program also provides a curriculum for students who are preparing to study science, mathematics, and engineering at the collegiate level.  This experience is one that students will want to return to every summer during their high school years.  A registration fee of $75 must accompany the completed application for students who are not Whitney M. YOUNG Scholars.

The program is in partnership with Jefferson County Public Schools and the University of Louisville College of Arts and Sciences.
