Over 100 articles and abstracts on research conducted by STAR students have been published in peer reviewed scientific journals such as the Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences and the Journal of Neurobiology. STAR mentors also provide letters of recommendation. As the majority of STAR students are the first in their families to attend college the STAR Program also assists its students with the college/university application and financial aid application process. 83% of all students at Francisco Bravo High School fall within the poverty range according to federal standards. In addition, the USC STAR Summer Research Program provides financial support to economically disadvantaged students who are compelled, due to their economic circumstances, to earn an income during the summer months. The partnership between the USC STAR Programs and the USC STAR Summer Research Program provides an uninterrupted flow of scientific learning and research during which students develop the skills and character necessary to conduct significant scientific research. The USC STAR Program enables Bravo High School students to conduct two years of continuous intensive inquiry-based science research experience and ensures that students endeavoring to learn the rigors of scientific exploration can proceed uninterrupted for a full two years.
