For reasons of health and safety, all Holland Summer Programs (SEP, SSRP, and RISE) will be online. Our online programs will offer exciting and engaging activities comparable to the residential summer experience. Thank you for your continued interest and support of these programs. We look forward to seeing you this summer!

Changing the face(s) of science
The Indiana University Jim Holland Summer Science Programs are specifically designed to address the ethnic and racial disparities that exist in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) fields. The Holland programs focus on high-achieving, underrepresented students who are currently in grades 8-11 (entering grades 9, 10, 11, and 12 in the fall)—including (but not limited to) African Americans, Hispanic Americans/Latinos, Native Americans, Native Alaskans/Native Pacific Islanders—and hopes to attract them to Indiana University for their college education. It is our goal to increase participation of students from underrepresented groups and, thus, increase diversity in the STEM fields.
Application deadline: Friday, April 16, 2021
Late or incomplete applications will not be considered.
We, at this point, have a 100% success rate at converting program participants into college students. There’s really no limit to where they could go in the sciences if they so choose.

NOTE: Because the Holland programs are online this year, we are still determining how many counselors and teachers will be needed. Details coming soon.
Teachers and counselors must arrive one day prior to the program for training. They will receive a stipend and free room and board at an IU residence hall.
Teachers (SEP only) expose the students to concepts in biology, hands-on laboratory experiences, and featured activities. SEP teachers will supervise participants during lectures, lab sessions, and field trips as well as provide constructive feedback for student lab journals.
Counselors (SEP, SSRP, and RISE) provide supervision and ensure students' safety and well-being. They serve as leaders, counselors, disciplinarians, and role models and enforce program rules. Counselors encourage and support participants' academic interests.
