HARTSVILLE -- The South Carolina Governor's School for Science and Mathematics is accepting applications from rising high school juniors now through Feb. 1, 2008, for its two-year, residential high school program.

GSSM is highly selective, taking into consideration courses taken, grades, class rank, standardized test scores, teacher recommendations and extracurricular activities. The school considers not only aptitude but also proven performance and demonstrated interest in science and mathematics.

Established in 1988, GSSM has graduated more than 1,000 South Carolina students who have gone on to become physicians, engineers, lawyers, business leaders and researchers, just to name a few.

GSSM graduates are better prepared for college because of the combined experience of residing on campus, attending advanced-level courses and experiencing first-hand the exciting world of scie.jpgic research.

Along with a comprehensive academic schedule, students participate in field trips, a three-week "mini-mester" each January and six weeks of mentored summer research.

For more information or to apply, call the admissions office at 843-383-3944 or visit www.scgssm.org.
