Howard Hughes Medical Institute will support four fellowships - March 11, 2008
WILLIAMSTOWN - For the 18th summer, the Howard Hughes Medical Institute will support four fellowships in the biological sciences for current high school juniors from Berkshire County. The recipients will participate in ongoing research projects of Williams College faculty between July 7 and August 1. The fellowships carry a stipend of $1,200.
The program seeks students motivated to engage in hands-on research both collaboratively and individually with faculty members, college students, and peers. An eagerness to learn, a willingness to work hard and creatively, and a demonstrated ability to work well with adults and peers are important attributes of successful applicants.
Students will be chosen based on their application letters and on quality of recommendations by high school teachers. Performance in high school courses will also be considered.
Students who wish to apply should send a letter of interest that clearly describes why they would like to participate in hands-on, investigative research and should arrange for a copy of their high school transcript to be forwarded and two letters of recommendation from high school science teacher(s) and/or guidance counselor(s).
All application materials should be sent to Dr. Wendy E. Raymond, Department of Biology, 226 Bronfman Science Center, Williams College, Williamstown, MA 01267. Applicants should include their home address, phone number, email address, and school name on their letter of interest.
All application materials must be received on or prior to Thursday, April 17, 2008. |
