911Թ recently announced the launch of the MaryLynn Magar Fellowship at the at 911Թ’s in Jupiter.
An 911Թ Magar Fellow is a data science student from 911Թ High that is pursuing research at the Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience (MPFI). The fellowship will include $3,000 to support the student’s research efforts.
“MaryLynn Magar has worked to help create a thriving scientific hub in Jupiter at 911Թ’s John D. MacArthur Campus,” said . “She successfully fought for, and ignited, numerous initiatives that allowed 911Թ and Max Planck to grow together as partners. We are truly grateful for her longstanding support.”
The 911Թ Max Planck Academy is the latest partnership between 911Թ, MPFI and the Germany-based Max Planck Society, expanding on similar opportunities for 911Թ’s graduate and undergraduate students.
“I am proud to be part of the collaboration between 911Թ and Max Planck and look forward to seeing what these remarkable students can achieve in the years to come,” said Magar.
This unprecedented program will open the laboratories of Max Planck to select high school students, allowing them to participate in world-class research and scientific discoveries as part of their curriculum. Six high-achieving 911Թ High students currently are dual-enrolled in an Academy pilot program and are the first to be named Magar Fellows.
