OBJECTIVES:  Students will spend most of their time working on a
research project under the guidance of both a faculty mentor and a
near-peer mentor, typically a graduate student or a postdoctoral
fellow in the advisor's group. Students will help design and implement
the project. Examples of research areas include diverse areas of
intellectual inquiry in the sciences and engineering, including
cutting-edge interdisciplinary fields such as bioinformatics,
proteomics, neuroscience, and nanotechnology.

ELIGIBILITY
Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents.  Priority
is given to applicants who will have completed at least the sophomore
year by June 2011. The sponsor will consider current first-years with
truly outstanding credentials. A minimum GPA of B (3.0/4.0) is
required, although exceptions may be granted by the Admissions
Committee.

FUNDING
Undergraduate summer science scholars receive a stipend of $3,200
for eight weeks, or $4,000 for ten weeks. In addition, participants
will receive free campus housing and travel reimbursement for up to
$500.   (jap)
