The application process for the 2016 class of Petit Scholars is now open.
Program Outline
Scholars willOnce selected to participate in the year-long program, scholars are matched with a research project from a list submitted by prospective graduate/postdoc mentors. Scholars conduct research beginning in the spring semester (January 2016) while taking their regular coursework.  During this time, they acquire the necessary skills and training needed to develop their research projects and chart their course for the upcoming year.  In the summer semester, scholars conduct their research full time (40 hours/week) immersing themselves in the research, integrating into the research group, and attending group meetings and other lab activities. When classes resume in the final fall semester, the scholars continue their research to develop results to present at the end-of-year poster session and celebration in November/December
