SUPER Student Application

Interested in becoming a SUPER student?

Whether you want research experience to be more qualified to enter the workforce, or you plan to apply to graduate school, research experience is extremely valuable! It demonstrates an ability to carry out a research plan from start to finish, to work with a mentor, and to communicate your results to a diverse audience. Take this opportunity to work with a mentor to build your research skills, and to gain depth in an area of study!

Students are required to complete an application online and will be selected to participate in the program based on eligibility and readiness for in-depth research participation.  Please take some time to read through the application guidelines below to prepare your application:
