Andover’s longest-running educational outreach program, (MS)2 advances diversity in the STEM fields by developing the competencies and self-confidence of outstanding high school students of color. In a residential setting on the historic Phillips Academy campus, the three-summer, residential program challenges students intellectually and exposes them to peers and educators with diverse backgrounds, life experiences, and aspirations.

The (MS)2 program was founded in 1977 to address the compelling need to cultivate the mathematical and scientific abilities of economically disadvantaged African American, Latino, and Native American high school students from targeted cities and communities across the United States. This competitive and rigorous program is free of charge for all students selected.

Held on Phillips Academy’s historic campus in Andover, Massachusetts, the three-summer scholarship program challenges students intellectually and provides essential college and career counseling. (MS)2 is free of charge for all scholarship recipients.
