Founded by Stanford, Harvard, and UC Berkeley researchers, Echelon Scholars helps high school students conduct world-class mentored research. 100% of our students publish at real, peer-reviewed, PhD-level journals and conferences, putting them on the same path our founders used to gain admission and continue their work at top universities. At Echelon Scholars, our founders experienced the value of high-ROI research opportunities firsthand. As high school students, they stood out by publishing their work in postgraduate-level, peer-reviewed journals—a standard of excellence rarely achieved at the high school level. This approach not only set them apart in the admissions process, but also gave them the academic credibility and research foundation that helped them succeed at institutions like Harvard, Stanford, and UC Berkeley.
