Fellowships are available to well-qualified applicants who would like to participate in a nine-week program designed for students who are interested in a career in science. Student participants are integrated into faculty research programs and are encouraged to perform like beginning graduate students. Informal faculty-student discussions plus weekly seminars supplement the laboratory research. Weekly informal lunches, two picnics and a banquet facilitate social and scientific interactions. At the end of each summer's program, the students prepare oral presentations that are given at a Summer Program Symposium. Each student also prepares a written research report, under the guidance of the student's mentor.Eligibility: Students who have just completed their freshman, sophomore, or junior year with at least a 3.2 GPA. Women, members of minority groups, and students from small colleges are especially encouraged to apply.
Application Procedure: To apply, submit the completed application form, a letter of recommendation from a faculty member who is familiar with your work, and a recent transcript.
