Dear Yale College Students:
The electronic application for the 2014 STARS Summer Research Program is now available online. The STARS (Science, Technology and Research Scholars) Program provides students with an integrated experience that includes mentorship, academic support and engagement in original research. STARS identifies and supports students from groups that are underrepresented in the scientific and technological disciplines, and students who come from disadvantaged circumstances, in any of Yale’s natural sciences and engineering majors. Applications are accepted in the spring semester from students who, at the time, are freshmen or sophomores.
During the summer program students conduct full-time research with a faculty mentor in a Yale science laboratory, enroll in SCIE 101, Scientific Research: Process and Presentation, participate in study sessions and journal clubs, and conduct a formal presentation of their summer research. All participants are required to maintain on-campus residency throughout the duration of the program.
- Application deadline is Monday, February 17, 2014 at 4:30 p.m. Information sessions will be held on January 16 and January 30, 2014 at 5:30 at the Yale Afro-American Cultural Center’s Lighten Room, 211 Park St.
All the best and we look forward to receiving your application.
Sincerely,
Rodney T. Cohen
Assistant Dean of Yale College
Director, STARS Summer Research Program
