Vanderbilt University- summer programs
PTY is now accepting applications for the following summer experiences:
Vanderbilt Summer Academy (VSA) | A one-week program where students explore new ideas in a choice-based course, dive into advanced material, and join a community of high-achieving students from around the globe. Options for rising 7th-12th grade students.
Vanderbilt Summer Institutes (VSI) | A two-week program for rising high school juniors and seniors where they tackle complex courses led by Vanderbilt faculty and experience what university-level learning really feels like. Options for rising 11th-12th grade students.
Vanderbilt Mentor Immersion (VMI) | Students closely with an expert mentor in a field they are passionate about—no matter where they live. Students collaborate with a small group of driven peers, deepen their understanding of a discipline, and complete a capstone project. Summer options for rising 11-12 grade students.
SAVY & Career Connections at SAVY | Weeklong summer classes designed for high-achieving students to explore accelerated subjects. Taught by master teachers and Vanderbilt faculty, staff and graduate students, SAVY programs challenge students in fun, engaging ways. Options for rising 1st-8th grade students.
Course descriptions and application information are posted on the PTY website.
PTY is committed to making programs available to academically advanced students regardless of a family’s ability to pay the full tuition. Therefore, need-based financial aid is available based on income.

The Biology meets Engineering (BmE) Project transcends two traditional disciplines, biology and engineering, honing in on the cutting edge of mutual inspiration between these fields—the sensory guidance of behavior in biological organisms and autonomous robots.
BmE provides a program in which students and teachers immerse themselves in a long-term, meaningful, transdisciplinary learning experience which integrates the sensory guidance of animal behavior with robotics. The program aims to increase awareness and participation of underrepresented groups in STEM.
As participants in the project, students and teachers engage in hands-on, scientific investigation to learn how biological species sense and respond to their environments. They then integrate learned, scientific principles with authentic engineering technology to build and program autonomous robots equipped with sensors and behaviors, based on animals, to execute specific tasks.
High school students meet on the UC Uptown campus to participate in a 3- week transdisciplinary program that integrates the study of biology and engineering through examining the sensory guidance of animal behaviors with robotics.
There is no fee to participate, we can help with transportation, and provide lunch. Students that participate in the summer are then eligible to apply for paid summer internships where they conduct STEM research at the university.
