While we do not envision any restrictions in 2023, the program dates, content, and the number of students accepted are subject to change based on the University of Pittsburgh pandemic health guidelines.
**All students will have to create a new application. We will not accept applications from previous years. YES students who have only completed one summer research project, you are guaranteed admission, however, you need to login and complete an abbreviated application.
We will be hosting 2 webinars to go over information about the program and application. Click the link to register.
Webinars cover the same information, there is no need to attend or view both.
Programs for 2023:
1) Hillman Academy (formerly known as UPCI Academy) - All high school students over the age of 15 are eligible. Including students who complete their senior year this spring.
2) Doris Duke Charitable Foundation Undergraduate Internship (DDCF-UI) - UNDERGRADUATES ONLY. Hillman Academy alumni that were supported by a Doris Duke stipend are eligible to apply. If you are unsure please contact us before applying.
