James Sites & Elaine Regelson
Undergraduate Research Scholarship
CALL FOR APPLICATIONS
The James Sites & Elaine Regelson Undergraduate Research Scholarship will
support undergraduates majoring in Physics and Computer Science who actively
pursue research under the guidance of a Colorado State University faculty member.
The goal is to offer to talented undergraduates an opportunity to work one-on-one
with faculty on research, and in so doing gain a deeper understanding and appreciation
of the research process. Up to three scholarships of approximately $1,000 each
may be awarded during each academic year.
Student eligibility requirements:
- Enrolled as a full-time student majoring in Physics or Computer Science at Colorado State University.
- Has a research mentor who has a regular faculty appointment at Colorado State University.
- Has a research project in physics or computer science.
- Will enroll for 3 research credits in the year the work is executed.
Applications should consist of:
- completed application cover page - download the Word Cover Page or PDF Cover Page;
- research proposal written by the student (not more than 2 pages);
- student’s resume;
- letter of support from the research mentor, describing the merits of the proposal, qualifications of the student, plans for disseminating the results (e.g. meetings, publications), and the professor’s mentoring plan for the student (e.g. lab meetings, workshops, courses, etc.);
- student’s academic transcript (an unofficial copy from RamWeb is fine). There is no minimum GPA required for this award.
Criteria used by the Selection Committee include:
- Quality of the student's research proposal.
- Strength of the faculty mentor's letter of support.
- Student’s academic record and potential for research.
Finalists may be interviewed to determine the awardees.
