What will I get?
  • 10 weeks of mentored research experience in some of the best nonlinear dynamics labs
  • $4,800 stipend + $600 food allowance
  • Travel funds to UMD and back home*
  • Housing at UMD for the summer (with ~9 other TREND students)*
  • $500 after the summer to present your research at a conference
  • Summer-long racial identity development and racial justice discussions
  • Practice and mentoring with oral, visual, written and multimedia communication skills, as well as career development
  • Outreach opportunities
  • Local tours (e.g.: Goddard Space Flight Center, NIST)*
