Outstanding sophomores, juniors and seniors in physics, chemistry, chemical engineering, electrical engineering and materials engineering are eligible to apply.
Participation is open to U.S. citizens and permanent residents.
Particular attention will be given to students from underrepresented populations. Progress meetings allow students to share their successes and challenges, and final oral and written reports hone communication skills. Some students in the program will have the opportunity to publish a paper on their work. Students in good standing at their home institution will be admitted to the University of Houston to receive Independent Research credit. These forms should be mailed in after a student has been selected for the program.
