Free Online Programs for High School Students
Nichable lists 173 programs, internships, research programs, competitions and volunteer opportunities for high school students that you can do from anywhere. None of them lists a cost to take part, and 78 state outright that they're free. Each one is checked against the organization's own page. Soonest deadlines first.
Common questions
Are these free online programs really open to students anywhere?
Each one is listed as remote: you take part online rather than in a particular city. Some still limit eligibility, for example to U.S. residents or certain grades, so check the listing before you apply.
Are these online programs really free?
None of these 173 listings names tuition or a required fee. Listings that charge say so in a cost line and are labeled "Costs money", so they aren't on this page. Smaller costs such as materials can still apply, so confirm on the organization's page before you apply.
How do I apply?
Each listing is run by its own organization and you apply on that organization's site. A free Nichable account shows each listing's deadline and how to apply, and lets you save and track them.
