Welcome to SYESP
"SYESP taught me how to lead and what to lead toward. It has lit the world around me,
and then passed me the torch with which to brighten the lives of others".
--Nico Slate, Newberry Springs, CA
Program Overview
The Stanford Youth Environmental Science Program (SYESP) is a summer residence program for exceptionally gifted, low-income, underserved, predominantly minority high school juniors and seniors who are concerned with the environment. Students from such communities traditionally have not pursued environmental careers, though their neighborhoods are often hit hardest by environmental problems. By exposing these students to national experts on the environment and assisting them into and through college to top graduate and professional schools, SYESP will foster future environmental leaders who could impact their neighborhoods and other disenfranchised communities on local and global levels.
