The program is very interested in attracting women, minorities and the disabled to participate in the program. Students that will be chosen for the program will have their travel and stay paid. Furthermore, each of them will receive a stipend of $5,000 (for the 10 week summer experience).
The program starts in mid-May and lasts for 10 weeks. There is an application deadline of this program (March 30th, 2007), so if you
