The New College Environmental Health Science Scholars (NCEHSS) program seeks to eliminate cultural, economic, and logistic barriers faced by underrepresented minority (URM) students seeking a summer research experience. Students will be recruited from the Maricopa County region in Arizona, the nation’s fastest growing county where the population is 30% Hispanic and 3% Native American.
Students will be matched with a faculty mentor for a 9-week summer research experience in ASU’s School of Mathematical and Natural Sciences on ASU's West Valley campus in Glendale, AZ. Successful students may be invited to continue working during the academic year with their summer mentor at ASU.
