Every claim we make about the fellowship comes down to one thing: papers with fellows' names on them. Here is where the work lands, and a selection of what fellows have published.
The editorial board matches each project to a venue where it can genuinely compete — never a pay-to-publish outlet.
Refereed journals dedicated to pre-university and undergraduate research in the sciences — the default destination for Sciences Fellows.
Regional and student tracks of established conferences, including poster and workshop sessions in computing and engineering.
National youth policy journals and briefing series read by practitioners — the destination for Letters & Policy Fellows.
A sample from the last three cohorts, across both fellowships.
76% of alumni matriculate at top-30 universities — and most cite their published paper as the centerpiece of their application.
