Native American Undergraduate Fellowships Program @ University of Minnesota
Native American Undergraduate Fellowships are provided to American Indian students from tribal colleges particularly those in the Upper Midwest. These awards are intended for students unaccompanied by a faculty member from their home institution. Students participate in a ten-week summer research program designed to provide unique research experiences, professional development, and increased awareness of materials science and engineering. Each student performs research in a UMN MRSEC research group from the Microstructured Polymers, Crystalline Organic Semiconductors and Magnetic Heterostructures IRGs, the Nanoparticle-Based Materials Proto-IRG, or one of the various Seed groups. Fellowships are awarded on a competitive basis. Criteria for the awards include the quality of the student’s undergraduate record, a letter of recommendation from a faculty member of the student’s institution, a demonstrated interest in science and/or engineering, and the endorsement by a MRSEC faculty advisor.
