Armstrong Atlantic State University

Armstrong Atlantic State University is looking for high school seniors who are interested in pursuing a career in science or mathematics at our institution.
The College of Science and Technology (CST) at Armstrong was awarded a $1,000,000 grant from the NAtional Science Foundation Science Talent Expansion Program (NSF-STEP) in 2009 to provide summer research fellowships for incoming freshmen students. These STEP scholars conduct 6 weeks of research in the summer before their first year at Armstrong.
Students selected as STEP scholars would be required to live on campus for 6 weeks from June 16-July 25, 2014 free of charge (5 meals per week are included) and will be paid a stipend of $300 each week. STEP scholars will attend an intensive mathematics program (no course credit) that will help to prepare them for college-level mathematics.
More information about the program and the application process can be found at http://armstrong.edu/stepscholar. Students must apply and be accepted to Armstrong. To be considered for the STEP program, applicants are required to have a minimum  of 500 on the math portion of the SAT and must submit an online application through the STEP website and a recommendation letter from a high school science or mathematics teacher. Phone or in-person interviewa will be conducted by STEP faculty. Students who are selected as STEP scholars must commit to attend Armstrong in the Fall and must declare a major within the College of Science and Technology. Complete applications must be submitted by May 2nd, 2014; however, applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis during the Spring semester, so earlier submissions are encouraged.
