Education is the door to opportunities! Want to…
Make yourself the best possible applicant for college and
scholarships? Make new friends?
Make new experiences that you will never forget? Have fun?

In college, Morse-COSMOS alumni
have:
Spent 4-6 weeks at Harvard working
in the lab
Paid internship Harvard paid for the travel and housing!
Gone to Italy for 4 weeks
Visited the sites and to learn about the
math, science, culture, language, and much more, involved!
Worked in various UC labs
Paid internship!
