 Summer Science Pathways for girls
 
 BU is hosting an exciting one-week, residential program for high
 school girls entering their junior or senior year in September 2012.
 Summer Pathways, now in its sixth year, targets girls from Boston
 area high schools who show promise and/or interest in science, math,
 or engineering.  The year the program will be held from July 6 -13th.
 Tuition is $575 and includes room, board, all travel and activities.
 Scholarships of up to $500 are available to students with
 demonstrated financial need.
 
 
 Participants will live in a BU dormitory, and during this week, will
 have the opportunity to engage in many hands on science activities
 and gain first hand knowledge of a wide range of careers in STEM
 disciplines. Participants visit laboratories, engage in science
 exploration activities, listen to career panels, visit local
 companies, learn about the college admissions process, and go on
 science-related field trips to various local destinations, such as
 the Museum of Science and the New England Aquarium.
