Young Scholars Programme

Be Better Informed & Better Prepared for College & Beyond

The Ashoka Young Scholars Programme (YSP) is a certified, summer residential programme, designed to give motivated students entering grades 9-12 an exposure to a liberal arts & sciences education at the university level. From the Sciences to Economics, AI to Psychology, Computational Thinking to Design Thinking, International Affairs to Writing with Impact, and Business to Policy, YSP immerses students in an intellectually vibrant environment where they can engage deeply with ideas across disciplines. As students explore how diverse fields shape our understanding of the world, they develop essential skills and gain new perspectives that will set them apart as they prepare for college, careers, and life beyond.
 

YSP 2026: Eight Interdisciplinary Streams | Hands-On Learning | Exposure to Leading Faculty and Industry Experts

Programme Dates:

Edition 1: May 18 – May 29, 2026
Edition 2: June 1 – June 12, 2026
