Quotes directly from Matthew Pohl
Pioneer’s Respected Selectivity
“There are very few selective summer programs out there that emphasize research. Pioneer is one of very few selective summer undergraduate research opportunities, and that’s something that’s known among college admissions officers at top universities.”
Pioneer’s Leadership mindset
“I believe Pioneer’s system really prepared students for the leadership mindset.”
Credibility through academic system
“Oberlin College is considered one of the top liberal arts colleges in the U.S. If they are partnering with an organization that provides excellent programs to students, then there’s credibility there. Automatically.”
Matthew Pohl - the former associate director of admissions at University of Pennsylvania and Wharton
The Pioneer Research Program is the ONLY global college-credit-bearing program in which students conduct

As part of its social mission, Pioneer Academics dedicates funds every year to need-based scholarships for students to participate in the Pioneer Research Program. These funds are very limited and their use is restricted to cases in which the need of the students’ family can be reliably accredited. Students are eligible for these scholarships in countries where need can be assessed or if they are part of a non-profit organization or an educational institution that can assess need.
