The University of Guam said it is now accepting applications for the National Science Foundation’s SEAS Islands Alliance Undergraduate Fellowship program, which provides undergraduate students with a chance to conduct cutting-edge research, gain valuable research experience, and contribute to Micronesia’s sustainable development.
In a press release, UOG said the SEAS Islands Alliance Undergraduate Fellowship program offers a comprehensive experience that includes:
- Mentorship: Students will be paired with experienced faculty mentors who will guide them through their research projects.
- Research opportunities: Fellows will have the opportunity to work on a variety of research projects related to environmental, social and marine sciences.
- Monthly stipend: Fellows will receive $500 a month as a stipend during their term.
- Professional development: Fellows will receive training in professional skills, such as communication, teamwork, and leadership, and may have travel opportunities.
“We are looking forward to a great program year with our faculty mentors,” explained co-principal investigator of the program Cheryl Sangueza, PhD. “The research themes this year include environmental science, marine biology, engineering, botany, ecology, social science, and sustainability.”
All undergraduate students from UOG or Guam Community College are encouraged to apply for this opportunity.
“We welcome all students pursuing their undergraduate degrees to join us for this great experience,” said SEAS Islands Alliance Guam Program Associate Marie Librando. “We have had a great history of students who participate in our program going on to great things and we cannot wait to welcome our next cohort.”
