Student Accepted into Summer Research Program at Loyola

Niles West High School student Shana Nissan has been accepted into the Research and Engineering Apprenticeship Program (REAP) administered by the Academy of Applied Science and Loyola University Chicago. REAP accepts high school students of exceptional academic merit and gives them the opportunity to work with top scientists on ongoing research projects in significant areas of study throughout the summer. Many students working with Loyola professors have published papers in the professional literature as well as presented their findings at regional and national conferences. This is an invaluable experience and provides an enviable set of credentials for students planning on applying to undergraduate, professional or medical schools.
