Students who are admitted to the program are awarded maintenance stipends and free room and board to conduct advanced research during the summer.
In addition, Excel! Scholars receive extensive tutoring to enhance writing and test-taking skills, participate in graduate school preparatory workshops, and present their research at local and national scholarly conferences.
Applications and additional information are available for students who wish to apply for the summer 2013 program.
The application deadline is Friday, April 12.
