Overview

The Tulane University Science Scholars Program (TSSP) is a selective program for high school students who have exceptional talent in the sciences and mathematics.  The TSSP holds classes at Tulane from 10:00 A.M. to noon on Saturday mornings during the academic year.  The classes generally meet 8 times in the fall and 8 times in the spring.  Non-credit courses are offered in the physical, chemical, biological, and computing sciences as well as in various engineering disciplines and mathematics.  Instructors are science, mathematics, and engineering faculty members and graduate students who are actively engaged in research at Tulane University.

 The TSSP was initiated by Professor Daniel Schwartz of the Tulane Chemistry department. Recently, support for the program has come from sponsorship by the Educational Advancement Foundation, the Tulane University Provost's office, and the National Science Foundation.  Individuals or organizations interested in sponsoring students ($250 per student) should contact Annette Oertling in Tulane's School of Science and Engineering (PH: 504-865-5172; email : annette.oertling@tulane.edu). Faculty or Graduate Students interested in offering a course should also contact Annette Oertling.
