Yale Chemistry welcomes high school students aged 16 or 17 to perform research or clinical activities. The purpose of the minor’s participation is to receive an introduction to an academic field of study and research and an educational mentoring opportunity.
Please review the policy for minors participating in research or clinical activities, including parental consent forms and liability waivers.
The experience at Yale is solely for the educational benefit of the minor and does not constitute an employment relationship between the minor and Yale. Therefore, the minor may not receive any wages or other compensation for their educational activities at Yale. In limited circumstances, a participant may receive a lump sum stipend if needed to enable their participation in the activity. This must be approved at the time of application, and in advance of any payment, by the provost or designee.
To set up an appointment for a minor in the lab, please contact Undergraduate Academic Support with the student’s name, contact information, and anticipated appointment dates. A Yale faculty member or delegate will then complete an application and provide the student with a NetID.
