These information sessions are intended for undergraduates beyond their first year and all graduate students in STEM-field majors.
The RISE Scholarship provides funding for a three-month summer research internship in a lab in Germany (working language is English!) and the SMART scholarship, a Department of Defense initiative, provides funding for tuition and educational fees and requires recipients to complete summer internships and then full-time work post-graduation doing research in a DoD lab.
Information sessions will be held in person and virtually on:
* Tuesday, October 19 -- noon-1pm
* Wednesday, October 20 -- 2-3pm
The in person option will be held in the NSO Conference Room (Room 1210) on the first floor of the Honors College building at 701 W. Grace Street. Masks will be required for those who attend in person.
The two sessions will be identical. Zoom links will be provided within 24 hours of each session to those who register.
