The
program objective is to promote the professional development
of minority undergraduate students through their participation
in ocean, marine and space science research. The program
will consist of a group of ten undergraduates. Applications
are accepted from throughout the country. Undergraduate
students selected must be citizens or permanent residents
of the United States. Each student will be assigned to
a specific research team, where he/she/ will work closely
with the faculty. In addition, seminars, lunch meetings,
and social functions will be organized to facilitate undergraduate
interaction. The project will be conducted for eight weeks
during summer 2003, with on-line mentoring and follow-up
during the academic year 2003-04. Each student will be
granted a stipend of 300 dollars per week, housing and
in some cases assistance with travel. Students who are
in those groups traditionally under-represented in science
are particularly urged to apply. Mathematics, computer
science, geo-science, biology, and some physics majors
who have completed 30 hours of coursework by the beginning
of the program are eligible to apply. GPA of 3.2 or above
is required.
