[Scholarship_alert] Summer Undergraduate Research Experience (SURE) at the University of Wisconsin Madison

[Engineering Scholarships Alert]

Dear Colleague:

This message includes information on the *Summer Undergraduate Research
Experience (SURE) and Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU)
Program* at the University of Wisconsin Madison, College of Engineering.

At this time we are soliciting assistance from you in identifying
students at your institution who may have an interest in pursuing a
graduate degree in engineering.  We are particularly interested in
identifying underrepresented candidates including first generation/low
income, women, and students of color.  All applicants should have
completed at least their sophomore year, have a GPA of at least a 3.0 on
a 4.0 scale, be U.S. citizens or permanent residents enrolled in an
accredited college or university, and have a strong interest in a
graduate degree in engineering or physical science.

The *Summer Undergraduate Research Experience (SURE) *and* Research
Experience for Undergraduates (REU)* is a ten week program running June
1 through August 7, 2010.  Participants receive transportation to and
from the program, a single room in a shared apartment, a small food
plan, and a $5,000 stipend.  Additional information along with a program
application is available through the SURE/REU page at
http://studentservices.engr.wisc.edu/diversity/sure/
<http://www.engr.wisc.edu/services/dao/sure>.  The program recruits
students from physical science backgrounds including engineering,
physics, computer science, and chemistry.

Placements for the Summer of 2010 will begin January 15, consequently we
encourage applications prior to that date (to better ensure students are
placed in their specific research area of interest) or as soon as
possible after that date and before February 15, 2010.  Please note that
not all students who apply will be invited to participate.  All
placements are subject to faculty approval and are often outside the
control of the SURE/REU program staff.

Thank you in advance for your support of our program.  Please do not
hesitate to contact me with any questions about the SURE/REU Program or
the University of Wisconsin Madison.  I can be reached at (608) 263-4583
or kburton at engr.wisc.edu <mailto:kburton at engr.wisc.edu>.

Sincerely,
Kelly Burton
SURE/REU Program Director
