>OBJECTIVES:
>  Participants will be assigned both a faculty mentor and a near-peer
>mentor in a laboratory of interest to that student and will spend
>approximately five days a week working with their mentors to complete
>a research project in the eight-week session. Other activities include
>field trips and group activities in which participants will hear from
>faculty and graduate student role models about STEM research and
>career paths. Participants will meet frequently with their peers and
>mentors to discuss the progress of their projects. They will also
>learn about preparing for, and applying to, graduate school. At the
>end, of the program students will prepare and present a poster
>describing their project at a formal, public poster session.

>ELIGIBILITY
>  Although all students majoring in science, technology, engineering
>or mathematics (STEM) fields are eligible for this program, the
>sponsor is particularly interested in applications from students of
>those population groups currently underrepresented in STEM fields
>(i.e., African Americans, Hispanics, American Indians, Alaska Natives,
>Native Hawaiians or other Pacific Islanders). Students who are
>undergraduates or who have graduated within the past six months are
>encouraged to apply.
>
>FUNDING
>  Participants receive a total stipend of $2,800.  The program offers
>up to $600 in reimbursement for round-trip travel, and room and board
>will be paid by the program. (daj)
