Dear Yale College Students:
The STARS II program provides an intensive research experience for juniors and seniors. Beginning in the spring semester of their junior year and continuing through the senior year, STARS II scholars receive a stipend to support up to ten hours a week of laboratory research under the supervision of a faculty mentor and graduate student(s). During the intervening summer, the program provides stipend support for students to continue their research for up to eight weeks. In the spring semester of their senior year, STARS II scholars conduct a formal presentation of their research at the STARS II Symposium. All STARS II students are also encouraged to present their research at regional and national science conferences/meetings and submit it for publication.
STARS II is a highly selective program and similar to STARS I, STARS II is a program designed for students who have historically been underrepresented in the sciences. These include students of color, women, students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, first generation college students, and the physically challenged. The program is available to majors in any of the natural sciences, engineering, and mathematics or computer science.
