Eligibility: |
Although essentially the same program, the Minority Fellowship and
Summer Student Fellowship have different admission qualifications and
unique program requirements. Minority Fellowships are awarded to
minority undergraduates who are enrolled in U.S. colleges or
universities who have completed at least one year of undergraduate study
and who have academic interests in physical or natural science,
mathematics, engineering, or marine policy. Applicants must be U.S.
citizens or permanent residents of the United States. Through the
Minority Fellowship program, WHOI's aim is to provide promising students
from underrepresented groups with a meaningful first-hand introduction
to research in oceanography, oceanographic engineering, or marine
policy. Minority groups included for consideration in this particular
program include African American or Black; Asian American; Chicano,
Mexican American, Puerto Rican or other Hispanic; Native American,
Alaska Natives, and Native Hawaiians. Minority Fellowships may be
awarded for a ten- to twelve-week period in the summer or for a semester
during the academic year, and may be renewed the following year. |
