Application details
During the summer months it is expected that fellowship recipients participate in weekly group lunch meetings where research students and faculty gather to discuss their work and learn about other science projects taking place at Rider.
Students performing research during the academic year are encouraged to present their work during the Student Poster Session held at the end of the semester terms. An example of the Spring 2026 program is given here.
Accepting this award may make you ineligible for all other campus employment during the fellowship.
