AIM-High Medical Summer Camp for High School Students

We accept all major credit cards/debit cards, money order or cashier's check. We do not accept personal checks or cash.

Scholarships are need-based, and applicants must submit a one-page essay describing why they are applying for a needs-based scholarship. Applicants should consider including information specific to familial circumstances that might make participation in AIM-High difficult without a scholarship. The essay must be typed, single-spaced, and submitted along with the application. (Additional information on how to apply for a scholarship will be provided in the application packet.) 

Please note that scholarship funds are limited and distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. If you receive a scholarship, you will be responsible for the remaining balance of the camp fee. 

Discounts are offered to NSU employees, but only apply to immediate family members.

We do not offer discounts for NSU alumni or siblings of current NSU students.

We understand that at times campers may not be able to attend camp due to unforeseen hardships, we will examine these cases on a case-by-case basis.

Refund Process

All refund requests must be received in writing. Please allow up to 10 business days for your refund to be processed. Refunds are issued in the same form of payment as the original payment.

Program Cancellation

In the rare event that NSU must cancel AIM-High, all monies will be refunded.

It is highly recommended that students use their personal email address and not a school-issued email address due to security restrictions.

The nonrefundable application fee does not secure a spot in the program as this is determined by the student’s ability to satisfy the application criteria and the receipt of full payment.

Application fees are nonrefundable even if an application is rejected or waitlisted or in the event of force majeure.

Yes. AIM-High is open to students from any state. International students are also welcome to apply. AIM-High, however, does not sponsor travel or student visas, and international students are not eligible for scholarship funds.

This program is only available to rising freshmen, sophomores, juniors, or seniors in high school. Exceptions to the eligibility criteria will be made on a case-by-case basis.

The same material is covered each session and in both locations. There is minimal or no difference.

Complimentary meals, snacks, and refreshments will be served daily, and students will have a variety of options available. Shark Dining caters to all diets including Kosher, vegan, and vegetarian options. Students are welcome to take their own meals to support specific dietary needs.

Yes, there is a clinic on-site.

The 450-word essay is your opportunity to tell the AIM-High team why you want to explore a career in medicine and what you hope to gain from the program. There is no single right answer—focus on your genuine interest in healthcare, any relevant experiences, and what you plan to do with what you learn.

As early as possible. Sessions are limited to 50 students and filled on a rolling basis. Submitting your $50 application fee early puts you in the queue sooner. The latest you can expect a decision is mid-April.

AIM-High is the introductory five-day day camp for current high school students. AIM-Higher is a more advanced program for students who have already completed AIM-High. Completing AIM-High is the pathway to AIM-Higher.
