ELIGIBILITY:
During the summer students must be enrolled in a program leading
to a bachelor's degree. The only exception is for students transferring
from one university or college to another. High school graduates
who have not yet entered a bachelor's program, and seniors graduating
before the summer are not eligible. Most students in the program
will probably be college juniors, however applications are welcomed
from sophomores and in exceptional cases those completing their
freshman year. The NSF requires that REU participants must be
either US citizens or permanent residents. However, limited
resources from different funds may be available for outstanding
international students.
WOMEN, MINORITIES AND DISABLED:
An important goal of the REU program is to provide an opportunity
to do research to students who would not normally have the chance
to do so. This especially includes women, members of minority and
the disabled, groups who are currently significantly underrepresented
in the science and engineering communities and whose talents will
be an important contribution to the nation's scientific resources
for the future.
Penn State encourages persons with disabilities to participate
in its programs and activities. If you anticipate needing any type
of accommodation or have questions about the physical access provided,
please contact the staff (see Contact
Us)
in advance of your participation or visit. |
