Premiere Research Scholar Application - Full Scholarships Available.

Deadline for Scholarship is June 1, 2026.

All Students from Around the World Qualify for Scholarships

Please apply online and fill the form below. If you get a scholarship, your tuition cost will be waived, and you will get full support to write and publish high-quality publishable papers.

Our students embody academic excellence, intellectual depth, and a passion for discovery. They represent the next generation of global scholars, producing faculty-mentored research that is fully publishable across disciplines.

At Premiere Research Academy, every scholar works one-on-one with a university faculty mentor to design, execute, and write a professional-standard research paper. All projects must meet the same publication standards.

We offer two core research publication pathways:

Business & Social Science Research Program (12–16 weeks; $2,500)

Work directly with university faculty on topics in economics, finance, business, political science, or the social sciences, culminating in a publication-ready paper.

STEM Research Program (16–20 weeks; $7,000)

Collaborate with faculty researchers in STEM to conduct original research suitable for journal publication or top research conferences.

All research projects receive the same level of mentorship, editorial guidance, and publication support. Our mission is to ensure every student produces research that meets high academic standards and is publishable.

The publication record of students who complete their research papers under our mentors is 90%. Papers are published in peer-reviewed professional journals, not high school journals, not undergraduate journals.

Why are you applying to do research?

Tell us your GPA and your SAT score

If you don't get a scholarship, you will pay the tuition fee. If your GPA exceeds 3.0, you will pay reduced tuition. There is no "free" research; research is a costly process due to costly agents (admin, mentors, data, paper access, etc). Do you agree?

Tell us about the topic you would like to research. If you don't have a topic, say 'please propose me a topic'.

Note on Research Costs and Scholarships

We welcome applications from all students, both domestic and international students.

While we are proud to offer 100% scholarships to a select cohort of exceptional scholars, full funding is limited. It is essential to recognize that world-class research is never truly "free." Producing scholarship at this level involves significant investment—from securing high-caliber mentors and proprietary datasets to maintaining the sophisticated administrative infrastructure required to support our researchers’ success.

In any professional setting, these essential costs must be sustained through specific funding models. While public goods—such as libraries or municipal parks—are supported by taxes, university research is typically subsidized by government grants, private endowments, or institutional budgets. These subsidies cover faculty salaries and facility overhead, which is why a university professor can occasionally offer 'unfunded' supervision. As an independent research organization, we operate without these external subsidies. We believe in direct accountability and fair professional compensation: to secure and retain mentors from the world’s leading institutions, we must cover their expertise and time directly. We appreciate that our applicants recognize this fundamental economic reality as a prerequisite for maintaining a program of this caliber.

When a scholar collaborates with a university professor without a direct program fee, it is because that professor’s time and the institutional resources have been pre-funded by government grants or private endowments. As an independent research organization, we operate without these external subsidies. This allows us to offer a more focused and responsive mentorship model. To deliver world-class guidance and a dedicated research infrastructure, we directly sustain the professional costs of our mentors’ expertise, ensuring they can prioritize your development as a researcher.

While we are proud to offer a limited number of 100% scholarships to the most exceptional applicants each year, the majority of our research slots are tuition-based. This structure is essential to maintaining the high-touch, world-class experience we provide to every participant. We strictly adhere to these two pathways: candidates either qualify for our merit-based full scholarship or participate via the tuition-based track. To ensure the integrity of our program and the commitment of our mentors, we are unable to consider requests for pro-bono research outside of these awards. Tuition rates are tiered and determined by the applicant’s unweighted GPA.
