Polygence Scholarships with the IRC

The Polygence Research and Mentorship Program has generously gifted two research scholarships to Teens at the Door. Through Polygence, high schoolers can conduct independent academic research projects on topics they are passionate about, with the guidance of an experienced mentor in that field.

I completed a scientific research project with Polygence and had an amazing experience. I was able to develop as an aspiring scientist and learn valuable skills from my mentor that will continue to help me as I begin college. 

We plan to distribute these scholarships to high schoolers working on the peer tutoring program we are helping to launch with the International Rescue Committee in their San Jose office. I am so excited that now two more high schoolers will have the same incredible educational opportunity that I did.
