Our Goals

Help students stand out on university applications with real published work.
Build a visible, valuable knowledge resource on our SOLS website.
Inspire younger members and general participants to contribute and stay engaged.
The Scholar’s Solstice is a student-led digital journal hosted on the SOLS website, created by the SOLS Research Team. It features short articles, reflections, infographics, and mini-studies related to how we learn — written entirely by high school students.
We accept articles to both the Scientific and Subjective sections of our journal, giving the opportunity to scientifically advance the world’s knowledge as well as enlighten the world to the unique perspectives and experiences of authors.
In the Scientific section, we welcome anything from literature reviews to complete research papers in fields such as psychology, biology, neuroscience, and beyond, striving to encourage young scholar’s to contribute to the world of scientific research.
In the Subjective section, we feature monthly themes, inspiring scholars to submit creative reflections, personal pieces, and more.
Whether you’re submitting original scientific research or reflective insight, the Scholar’s Solstice is where you can present your findings, your voice, and explore what it means to learn.
