Program

The Advanced Science Scholars Program (ASSP) is a joint venture between UNC Pembroke and the Public Schools of Robeson County to serve 225 minority mathematics and science, middle and high school students to unify the concepts of science and build a bridge for students to crossover into higher education and advanced science studies by offering creative and engaging ways to involve hands-on activities. ASSP is a year-round 21 st century learning environment with a two-prong component approach: The first component, the Summer Science Scholars Symposium, is an annual entry point for 45 middle school students providing a two-week science day camp, introducing students to science curriculum typically not available in middle grades. The second component is the Advance Science Academy (ASA), a year-round program for 30 high school students. Through ASA students are involved in monthly hands-on Saturday Academies, which are workshops broadening their understanding of science and its content and improving their experience in scientific techniques.
