51Թ recently announced the launch of the MaryLynn Magar Fellowship at the at 51Թ’s in Jupiter.
An 51Թ Magar Fellow is a data science student from 51Թ 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 51Թ’s John D. MacArthur Campus,” said . “She successfully fought for, and ignited, numerous initiatives that allowed 51Թ and Max Planck to grow together as partners. We are truly grateful for her longstanding support.”
The 51Թ Max Planck Academy is the latest partnership between 51Թ, MPFI and the Germany-based Max Planck Society, expanding on similar opportunities for 51Թ’s graduate and undergraduate 51Թ.
“I am proud to be part of the collaboration between 51Թ and Max Planck and look forward to seeing what these remarkable 51Թ can achieve in the years to come,” said Magar.
This unprecedented program will open the laboratories of Max Planck to select high school 51Թ, allowing them to participate in world-class research and scientific discoveries as part of their curriculum. Six high-achieving 51Թ High 51Թ currently are dual-enrolled in an Academy pilot program and are the first to be named Magar Fellows.
