Get Published: Transforming High School Research into Professional Papers
Global Research Fellowship, founded by Aaditya Singh, is a selective, mentor-led research program designed to help high-school students produce publication-ready work in STEM, economics, and finance. We understand how little traditional schooling differentiates applicants at the most selective universities: almost everyone applying has near-perfect grades and rigorous coursework, which means being an “A+ student” is now the starting line, not a differentiator.
Global Research Fellowship exists to give ambitious high-school students something deeper than another activity—real, publication-quality research in STEM, economics, and finance. Students work 1:1 for eight weeks with PhD-level mentors to design, execute, and write rigorous papers that can be submitted to reputable high-school or undergraduate journals.
Global Research Fellowship is led by senior mentors such as Alex Dryden, CFA, and Dr. PK.
Alex Dryden is an experienced macroeconomist with over ten years of professional experience in global markets. As a Senior Economist at J.P. Morgan Asset Management, he worked across the London and New York offices, specializing in central bank policy, fixed income, and macroeconomic analysis, and now brings that real-world markets background into GRF’s macro research track. He is currently pursuing a PhD in Economics, has completed the CFA and CAIA designations, and holds advanced degrees in finance and economic policy.
Dr. PK is a distinguished university professor at a T50 university and seasoned researcher in mathematics, statistics, and econometrics, renowned for his structured, high-standard mentorship and exceptional track record in student publications. He holds a 100% success rate in guiding students from initial concept to polished, journal-ready papers through a comprehensive 1:1 process, setting the benchmark for what serious high-school research can look like.
Our mission is to close the gap between “school projects” and real research by giving motivated students the level of mentorship, accountability, and editorial support usually reserved for university labs and honors programs. Global Research Fellowship is intentionally small and selective so every student receives personalized guidance and a clear path from idea to publication—and a genuine way to stand out in an application pool where top grades are no longer enough.
What makes us different?
Publication‑level outcomes, not vague “research exposure.” Most programs stop at “research experience” or a final presentation; GRF is explicitly built around taking students from idea to a full paper that meets the standards of reputable high‑school or undergraduate journals.
Serious mentors with front‑line experience. Students aren’t just matched with generic tutors—they work 1:1 with mentors like Alex Dryden, CFA, an ex‑J.P. Morgan Senior Economist with a decade in global markets and current PhD researcher, and Dr. PK, a university professor in math, statistics, and econometrics with a 100% track record of guiding students to journal‑ready work.
Selective, small, and intensely hands‑on. GRF intentionally works with a limited number of students at a time, allowing for deep feedback on every stage—topic design, methods, drafts, and positioning for admissions—instead of large‑cohort, video‑based instruction.
Built for the new admissions reality. In an era where top applicants routinely have near‑perfect grades and heavy activity lists, GRF focuses on helping students build one or two pieces of truly distinctive intellectual work that can anchor essays, recommendations, and interviews
