Most applicants for the CNUP Summer Undergraduate Fellows Program will have completed their sophomore or junior year of undergraduate training. Successful candidates typically demonstrate grade point averages of 3.0 ("B") or higher, especially in Science, Math and related coursework.

Students who envision a future for themselves in medicine typically will not be as competitive for this fellowship, unless that vision includes an important potential role for laboratory-based Neuroscience research. Although many students may already have some laboratory research experience, such experience is not a prerequisite for this fellowship program.

Students must indicate on the application form three faculty members with whom they would prefer to work. Whenever possible, student/mentor pairings are determined from this list.

Student receive a stipend of $3,000 and will be provided housing at no-cost in a double-occupancy, on-campus dormitory. Students will be responsible for their own meals and other expenses, including travel to and from Pittsburgh.
