We seek to support undergraduates students majoring in physics, chemistry, or materials science who have just completed their freshman or sophomore years at an institution of higher education and are working toward a 4-year undergraduate degree. Priority will be given to under-represented students in STEM who have had limited or no previous research experience, and who are very excited about the possibility of a career in STEM. Special consideration will be given to veterans, non-traditional students (over 30 years old), students with disabilities, and students who are the first in their families to attend college/university.
