NOW ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR 2010 PROGRAM
deadline: March 1, 2010
Monell’s Science Apprenticeship Program brings high school and college students from segments typically underrepresented in science, such as women and minorities, to the Center each summer. An intensive seven-week internship allows students to participate in structured research experiences, as well as in a number of enrichment activities. These budding scientists gain an increased appreciation of the chemical senses, and also valuable experience in the world of working scientists: a demystification of science, the development of critical thinking skills, and hands-on experience of the scientific process. Follow-up evaluations show that the vast majority of apprentices pursue degrees in science. To learn more about the Monell SAP, please explore the links at left.
“What I love about science is the sense of new frontiers, the idea that you may be the first person to do or find things.”
