2025 Summer Programs and Camps
AAMU Announces 2025 Summer Programs and Camps
Research Experience for Secondary School Students in Ceramics/Nanostructures
June 2 – July 31
High school students in Huntsville, Madison, and surrounding areas can gain hands-on research experience in this Ceramics/Nanostructures summer program. Hosted Monday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., this program is designed for STEM-motivated students eager to explore scientific research. Students will work closely with a primary mentor, gaining valuable instruction in a university research setting. The program offers a stipend of $1,000 per month, and only four positions are available. Students must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents and submit an official academic transcript and reference letter. Those from underrepresented groups are strongly encouraged to apply. Accepted students under the age of 19 will need parental approval for medical and liability forms. The National Science Foundation's Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program, which supports similar programs nationwide, provides a pathway for students to immerse themselves in STEM fields, making this local opportunity a great stepping stone for future research endeavors. The deadline to apply is May 15, 2025.
Workshop on Nanoscience & Technology
June 23 – June 26
The NSF-RISE Program is offering a weeklong “Nanoscience & Technology” workshop in the AAMU Physics Department, where students will learn from leading experts in this cutting-edge field. Sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the program is open to highly motivated 10th, 11th, and 12th-grade students from Huntsville, Madison, and surrounding areas who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents. Participants will gain hands-on experience, explore groundbreaking scientific concepts, and receive a $300 stipend for their engagement. Students from underrepresented groups are strongly encouraged to apply. All applicants must submit an official academic transcript. Upon acceptance, medical and liability forms signed by a parent or guardian will be required. For more information, contact rami.bommareddi@aamu.edu. The deadline to apply is May 20, 2025.
AAMU ALSAMP Summer Computing Program
July 1 – July 31
The Alabama Louis Stokes Alliance for Minorities Participation (ALSAMP) Summer Computing Program at Alabama A&M University is intended for first-year freshmen and community college transfer students. Accepted students will participate in an asynchronous outline course on the Principles of Computing coordinated by the University of Alabama campus during July 2025. The Principles of Computing course mirrors the College Board's AP Computer Science Principles course, using Python as the foundational programming language. Upon successful completion of this course, participants will receive a certificate. Additionally, training will continue with a series of computational thinking and programming workshops offered during the fall and spring semesters of the academic year.

State Community & Technical College. The free one-week residential summer program
allows high school juniors (rising seniors) to live on campus and learn about Historically
Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Historically Black Community Colleges (HBCCs),
college admission, financial aid and scholarship resources.
College of Engineering, Technology and Physical Sciences Pre-Freshman Bridge Program
July 6 – 18
The Pre-Freshman Bridge Program is for incoming engineering freshman who have chosen one of the disciplines in the College of Engineering as their major. It is a 2-week math-based program at AJ Bond Hall designed to refresh math skills from Pre-Calculus to Calculus I. The program will also have informative lectures on college life and careers.
