Independent research is a key factor in preparing yourself for a career in science or for graduate or medical studies. ISP research forms the foundation of your career. You have the option of staying on campus for the summer after your first year to continue your research, with the guarantee of receiving a stipend and summer housing. (The 10-week stipend in 2025 was $5,500)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"ms-rteElement-P\">You will have the opportunity to build strong bonds and make lasting connections with your ISP classmates, many of whom have the same interests as you.
