[Kevin James]

Hi all,

I don't know if I sent the information below to y'all already or not.  
It is information about NSF funded programs for grad school.

I hope that you are all doing well.

Dear Kevin:

 

In our efforts as a National Science Foundation grantee working with 
Alliance for Graduate Education and the Professoriate to promote 
resources for students pursuing careers in STEM, the Institute for 
Broadening Participation provides current information on NSF 
opportunities for you to share with your students and colleagues --- 
particularly those activities that support graduate students.  As you 
know, students who have one or more REU experiences are highly likely to 
pursue a graduate degree.   For this reason we attempt to reach as many 
of these students as possible.  Students can visit www.agep.us 
<http://www.agep.us>; www.igert.org <http://www.igert.org> and 
www.ibparticipation.org <http://www.ibparticipation.org> for specific 
programmatic information on AGEP, IGERT (Integrative Graduate Education 
Research Traineeships, REU Programs and others. 

 

In addition, if they have not done so already, we suggest that students 
who are actively seeking information on graduate school this year may 
want to fill out our on-line form at: 
http://www.ibparticipation.org/IBPForm.asp or 
http://www.agep.us/contactprogram.asp, or 
http://www.igert.org/contactprogram.asp

 

or the student information form (attached)---whichever is most 
convenient for them-- and submit it on the web or forward it to our 
office by mail or fax.  This will enable us to send them information 
about graduate school scholarship/fellowship/traineeship opportunities, 
research opportunities, and new programs, opportunities, and remind them 
about deadlines. 

 

While we have already heard from many of this year's summer REU students 
there are a few who may be interested in pursuing graduate studies who 
have not had a chance to send in their contact information.

 

Thank you for your help spreading the word about NSF graduate funding 
opportunities. We wish you a happy and productive summer!  Please let us 
know if we can provide any other information you may find helpful for 
your students.

 

Sandy Thomas
