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.
