P.M. UPDATE: NSU partners with Arkansas for summer research program

Qualified students at Northeastern State University can now explore research opportunities thanks to a partnership authorizing their participation in the University of Arkansas' George Washington Carver Research Program.

Founded in 1997, the Carver program links UA's graduate school with colleges and universities offering curricula intended for African-American, Hispanic and American Indian students.

The program identifies qualified undergraduates to participate in an eight-week summer research experience on the Fayetteville campus.

To qualify students must be Native American, African American, or Hispanic, have an overall cumulative grade-point average of at least 3.0 and have at least 60 credits completed.

The program covers all costs, including travel and a stipend, and students live on campus. They work with a faculty mentor on a research project during the eight weeks while preparing for admission to graduate or professional school.

For more information contact the Center for Tribal Studies at 444-4350.
