Facilitating Academic Careers in Engineering and the Sciences


FACES Scholars

Upperclass undergraduates at Emory, Spelman, Morehouse, and Georgia Tech in science, mathematics, and engineering disciplines are asked to apply to the FACES Undergraduate Scholars Research Program. The program offers talented undergraduate students the opportunity to become involved in research in the hope that they will be motivated to pursue graduate education. While the program offers the students the obvious advantages of early exposure to research, it offers participating faculty the opportunity to mentor promising students and gain assistance with research.

As a FACES scholar, the students perform research under the supervision of an academic faculty member. Scholars are expected to work at least 10 hours per week, and will receive a stipend of $1500/semester. As part of the research experience, each participant is expected to complete a report summarizing the results of their research and prepare a final presentation in the spring semester.

Applicants must be full-time students, and must be US citizens or permanent residents.
