DESCRIPTION:Applications Open:  November 3\, 2025.\nApplication Deadline:
   January 16\, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. MT.\nThe Institute for Underground Scie
 nce at SURF's Davis-Bahcall Scholars Program offers an incredible\, all-ex
 penses-paid opportunity for current high school seniors and first-year und
 ergraduates (must be 18 or older by June 13\, 2026) who are passionate ab
 out science\, technology\, engineering\, and math (STEM). This four-week a
 dventure connects students with inspiring people who will help shape their
  future\, while offering an up-close look at cutting-edge STEM research ha
 ppening across the country and around the world. This program was designed
  for students focused on physics\, biology\, chemistry and engineering. \
 nNamed after Nobel laureate Dr. Raymond Davis Jr. and renowned astrophysic
 ist Dr. John Bahcall\, the program celebrates their historic collaboration
  that led to groundbreaking discoveries in solar neutrino research at the 
 Homestake Gold Mine. Inspired by their spirit of curiosity and discovery\,
  the program encourages students to consider a future career in STEM and u
 nderstand more clearly the educational paths and professional opportunitie
 s available.\nThe experience begins with a week in South Dakota’s Black 
 Hills\, featuring an underground tour of the Sanford Underground Research 
 Facility (SURF). It continues with two weeks of visits to top research ins
 titutions across the Midwest\, such as Fermilab\, and culminates with a tr
 ip to an international research laboratory. Throughout the program\, stude
 nts gain hands-on exposure to innovative STEM fields such as dark matter a
 nd neutrino research\, engineering\, biology\, and chemistry. \nThe Davis
 -Bahcall Scholars Program is designed to inspire future STEM leaders. Thro
 ugh lab tours\, industry visits\, and one-on-one discussions with leading 
 researchers\, professors\, and industry experts\, students gain insight in
 to what it is like to work in STEM. Along the way\, they form lasting frie
 ndships and connections with fellow scholars who share their passion.\nAlo
 ng with the lab visits\, the program includes trips to cultural landmarks\
 , iconic sites\, and maybe even a famous Chicago pizzeria. And the best pa
 rt? Every aspect of the program is fully funded.\nIn addition to all expen
 ses being paid\, students will receive a $2\,000 learning stipend upon suc
 cessful completion of the program.\nIf this sounds like a dream come true\
 , it is worth submitting an application for this special opportunity to ex
 plore the world of STEM\, build lifelong connections\, and find your place
  in the future of STEM!\n \nDOWNLOAD\, PRINT\, and SHARE Flyer!\n\n \nPR
