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 2006, with on-line
mentoring and follow-up
during the academic
year 2006-07. 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.
