Academy of Science Scholarship

The goal of this project is to increase the number of students (U.S. citizens or permanent residents) receiving baccalaureate degrees in established or emerging fields within science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).

The program provides freshmen, sophomore, and transfer students in science and mathematics and high-school interns an opportunity to participate in research clusters under the supervision of a faculty member. The program provides scholars $350 scholarship per semester with additional funding for equipment and other research resources.

Requirements

Admission of applicants into the Undergraduate Academy of Science is based on the availability of scholarships and other resources. Although the faculty mentors in charge of research clusters may have specific requirements for their research clusters, the following lists some of the general requirements that will apply to all clusters.

• Faculty mentor’s acceptance of a scholar after reviewing applicant’s application form.
• 3 hours per week meeting with the research team.
• 2 hours per week community building activities which may include, attending study halls, tutoring/mentoring corners, weekly seminars, working with research mentors, or other related activities as approved by the faculty mentor.
• Presentation of the research project as a team at the end of each semester to a general audience or at the Celebration of Student Research and Creative Endeavors.
• Satisfactory mid-semester satisfactory evaluation by the faculty mentor; this will trigger issuing a stipend for that semester.
• Satisfactory end-of-semester evaluation by the faculty mentor; this may lead to renewal of the membership in the Academy for the following semester.
