About the Program
The Bioenergy Scholars Program offers summer research work to undergraduates, who can apply to work at one of several universities in the Northeast US (including Penn State, Cornell, Rutgers, West Virginia University, SUNY ESF, and Delaware State University and others). After a one-week orientation program at Delaware State, students will be brought to their host university to spend the summer working side by side with graduate students and researchers on important bioenergy topics. Students will prepare a paper based on their work for presentation at the end of the summer. Applicants should have an interest in bioenergy, but students from a wide variety of backgrounds and locations are encouraged to apply.
What it offers
The Bioenergy Scholars Program gives undergraduate students an excellent opportunity to meet and work with other students interested in bioenergy, to gain hands-on knowledge of the topic, and to learn about exciting opportunities in this field. All of this comes while earning a summer paycheck, working at one of the beautiful college campuses in the Northeast United States.
