Over Polygence

Geschreven door het bedrijf

Polygence is a leading global online research and mentorship program for high school and middle school students, founded by researchers from MIT and Princeton. Through personalized, one-on-one mentorship with expert researchers and professionals, students explore their interests, develop original ideas, and create mentored research projects that show what sets them apart.

Students can pursue projects across STEM, social sciences, humanities, business, technology, and the arts. Projects may become a research paper, prototype, app, podcast, policy proposal, literature review, or other original work.

Create work that is distinctly yours

At Polygence, students are encouraged to develop a research topic and project that reflects their own interests, questions, and goals. Their mentor provides guidance along the way while giving them the space to shape the direction of the work and make it genuinely their own.

The goal is to help students build an intellectual portfolio that demonstrates their curiosity, initiative, skills, and ideas.

Work one-on-one with expert mentors

Students are matched with mentors based on their interests and project goals. Mentors include PhD researchers, academics, and industry professionals who provide personalized guidance throughout the research process.

Prepare for college and beyond

Mentored research helps students build skills in critical thinking, research, writing, problem-solving, project management, and communication while creating work they can draw on in college applications and future academic opportunities.

Polygence alumni report 5.9x greater admissions chances at Top 25 universities, and the Class of 2026 reported nearly $19 million in college scholarships.

84% of Polygence students also report feeling more confident and optimistic about their future after working with their mentor.

Mentor Match Guarantee

Every Polygence program includes our Mentor Match Guarantee. If you’re not satisfied with your mentor’s knowledge or expertise after your first session, we’ll rematch you with a new mentor or provide a full refund.

A memorable experienceA memorable experience

A memorable experience

My child started the mentoring program with Sannah B in January this year and will finish it this month. They worked at a high-performance pace, without compromises. If your dream is research, then Polygence is the right place. Ianu (Sebastian Nicolae Vaia), my child, has the scholarship, we would never have been able to afford this program and we are grateful for that.
It is very different from what a high school student who is only 16 years old usually does. It is also different from the Olympiads, from physics in Ianu's case. It is something much more complex and requires thousands of pages read in a short time, synthesis capacity, creativity, intelligence at least at the level of MENSA.
The mentor matters a lot, and Sannah B is what Ianu needed.
He is just a little distrustful of publishing individual research or just scared by the reviews that say that most are rejected, although, in the absence of official statistics, I do not think that statement is true.
However, Polygence is a memorable experience that greatly raised Ianu's level and opened his path to research. In September, he will also participate in the Polygence Symposium.

Thank you so much for sharing Ianu’s experience. We’re glad his work with Sannah has strengthened his skills and opened a path toward research. He should be incredibly proud of all he has accomplished, and we look forward to seeing him at the Symposium this September!

Polygence: Great for Young Minds

The amazing thing about Polygence is that its researching platform enables young minds to get motivated in the study they truly love. They not only take this as fun, but able to showcase their work through publications, competitions, and so much more. I would like to thank the Polygence team for making me feel motivated and seen as a professional person I am yet to be.

Polygence review

It was quite expensive for me. That wasn’t an issue but for students who are looking for research I would not say it’s worth it. Additionally, my mentor was not much help in the field I was interested in and kind of just helped me write the paper. We had a good relationship, at least that’s what I thought, but when I asked if she could write a letter of recommendation for me she refused and ghosted me then onwards. Also you are only paired with Phd students so it’s not like doing actual research, it will be literature review. Overall I think it was good for getting me into research but throughout high school, you will learn how to write papers and cite sources anyway so I don’t think the program is worth paying for.

The mentor I had was extremely knowledgeable and she gave her best insight into the research I conducted. She was great and responsive! I think the publisher I had could have done better and was more disorganized than my main mentor.
