The intent of this rigorous research training experience is to prepare students to become research scholars and to stimulate serious consideration of graduate study in the fields of science, engineering and math. Special consideration will be given to students who attend California State University campuses.
Students spend eight weeks engaged in laboratory research.
They will complete an independent research project and participate in a student research conference. In addition, all participants will attend a series of scientific lectures relevant to current research in the fields of science, engineering and math as well as graduate school preparation and Graduate Record Examination workshops. Fellowships are offered on a competitive basis to United States citizens or permanent residents who are juniors or seniors enrolled full-time at a college or university. Applicants must have a grade-point average of 3.0 or better or have displayed significant potential for graduate study. Students will be assessed based on their educational background and interests, and ability to contribute to the goals of the program.
