Developing an original Pioneer research topic: A Scholar's Story
Pioneer isn’t like any high school program, because you can’t grow this fast in high school. At Pioneer, you are placed into a cohort and group sessions with some incredibly bright peers and a responsible professor, and before you even realize it, you have (surprisingly) produced a college-level paper. I think nothing is more encouraging than ascertaining that you have the potential to face academic rigor in college.
