Caltech is excited to
announce two summer research opportunities available to continuing
undergraduate students. Questions about these programs can be directed
to Carol Casey at casey@caltech.edu or (626) 395-2887.
WAVE Fellows Program at Caltech
The
WAVE Fellows program provides support for talented undergraduates
intent on pursuing a Ph.D. to conduct a 10-week summer research project
at Caltech. The WAVE Fellows program aims to foster diversity by
increasing the participation of underrepresented students in science and
engineering Ph.D. programs and to make Caltech's programs more visible
and accessible to students not traditionally exposed to Caltech. The
program is extended, but not limited, to underrepresented minorities,
women, first-generation college students, geographically
underrepresented students, educationally and financially disadvantaged
students, and students with disabilities.
Eligibility: Students
must be current sophomores through non-graduating seniors and must be
U.S. citizens or U.S. permanent residents. A minimum GPA of 3.2 is
required.
Competitive applicants will have completed
sophomore-level courses in desired research field, have demonstrated
through academic and/or co-curricular activities a passion for research,
and can articulate how their research interests align with Caltech's
research areas. The most competitive applicants will have prior research
experience.
Support: WAVE Fellows will receive a $6000 award for
the ten-week program. An additional $500 housing and travel supplement
will be provided.
Application: Online applications are due January 7, 2016.
