Scholarship Overview

TAMS will award early-research scholarships for a limited number of incoming students in accord with the “rolling admission” protocol. We shall seek to place successful Early Research applicants in UNT-based research labs for a 9-week residential summer session (May 27 - July 25), with weekdays devoted to lab research. Early summer research students will also engage in educational seminars and R&R interaction with other research students.

Early Researchers will interact with other TAMS students, UNT graduate students, postdocs, and Principal Investigators (PI). Early researchers will thereby receive a significant head start in (1) adjusting to life at UNT, (2) understanding how to navigate a research lab, (3) learning methodology, contributing to their fields of study, and (4) experiencing the social atmosphere and protocols of a research lab and of a residential environment. The residential living and research experience will feature a $4000 scholarship to help early-research students meet expenses.

Program Requirements

Students must participate in the full 9-week summer research experience. Students who receive an Early Summer Research placement, will be enrolled in a one-credit, Pass/Fail class. Early Researchers will complete somewhere between 35-40 hours of researcher per week.

Students selected for Early Summer Research will receive a contract outlining the expectations and regulations pertaining to the research experience. It is recommended that students review this contract carefully to ensure they are able to meet the requirements. Full contracts and instructions are sent to those awarded the Early Summer Research Scholarship.

Application

Final acceptance is provisional, relative to the ability of TAMS to locate a research mentor for the student. On the “rolling admission” timeline, we shall seek to match student preference with available and appropriate labs and professors.
