Undergraduates, who are upperclassmen at Georgia Tech, Emory, Spelman, and Morehouse and who are studying in a science, mathematics, or engineering related fields are solicited to apply to the FACES Undergraduate Scholars Research Program. As a FACES scholar, the students perform research under the supervision of an academic faculty member. A nominal effort of 10 hours per week is expected for which the student will receive a stipend of $1500/semester. As part of the research experience, each participant is expected to complete a report summarizing the results of their research and prepare a final presentation in the spring semester. The program offers talented undergraduate students the opportunity to become involved in research in the hope that they will be motivated to pursue graduate education. While the program offers the students the obvious advantages of early exposure to research, it offers participating faculty the opportunity to mentor promising students and gain assistance with research. Applicants must be enrolled as a full-time student, and must be US citizens or permanent residents. Applications will be excepted until September 1st, 2008.
