| Program Description: |
| | The primary goal of Project M.O.S.T. is to ensure that each middle school student maintains high academic |
| | achievement in science, as well as cultivates an interest in pursuing a career in science. Through tutoring, hands-on |
| | science experiments, enrichment field trips, and other stimulating activities, Project M.O.S.T. will help students |
| | explore the world of science while simultaneously expanding their horizons. Hopefully, by exposing the students to |
| | new ideas and resources at Rutgers University, they will maintain high academic performance and aspire to go to |
| | college. |
