Participants must be currently enrolled in an undergraduate program. Applications from rising sophomores to seniors will be accepted. Participants must be enrolled in a mathematics or related undergraduate degree program with sufficient background in mathematics (for example, a course in ordinary differential equations is recommended). We especially encourage applications from students attending colleges and universities in the Appalachian region and in general from institutions with limited opportunities for STEM research experiences, as well as underrepresented groups such as minority students, women, students with disabilities, veterans, students in rural areas, first-generation college students, students of low socioeconomic status.

Each participant will receive a stipend of $5,600, on-campus housing, an additional meal stipend, and partial travel support to and from Morgantown, WV. The program is restricted to U.S. citizens, nationals, or permanent residents.

To apply, please submit a cover letter, a curriculum vitae, a transcript, a personal statement of interest that includes a ranking of the topic, from highest to lowest, on which you would like to work, and two letters of recommendation. Applications submitted by March 1, 2025, will be fully reviewed, and participation invitations will be sent shortly thereafter. The application will remain open until all 10 open slots are filled.
