2012 REU Online Application Form

The REU program is open, by NSF regulation, only to US citizens and permanent residents. If accepted, you will be required to show proof of citizenship or permanent residency. This CLASSE program is intended primarily for sophomore and junior students in science and engineering. In exceptional cases first year students could have enough familiarity with physics, engineering, or computer science to profit from their research experience. Students who have not yet enrolled as undergraduates and students who will have a Bachelors degree by the summer of 2012 are not eligible according to NSF regulations. First offers will be made by March 1, 2012. If accepted, you will have to show proof of health insurance coverage for the period of the REU Program.
