3. Summer 2009 DREU: Paid research internships for underrepresented
students via CRA-W and CDC

The CRA-W and CDC Distributed Research Experiences for Undergraduates
(DREU) Program is a highly selective program that matches promising
undergraduates with a faculty mentor for a summer research experience at
the faculty member's home institution. The objective of the DREU is to
increase the number of women and students from underrepresented groups
entering graduate studies in the fields of computer science and
engineering. The DREU experience is invaluable for students who are
considering graduate school, providing them with a close-up view of what
graduate school is really like and increasing their competitiveness as
an applicant for graduate admissions and fellowships.

Funding for the student consists of $6,000 for the summer (10 weeks),
plus relocation travel assistance when appropriate. Additional funds may
be available to support student conference travel, either during the
summer or afterward, and for outreach activities promoting the DREU.

An online application for students and faculty mentors is available at
http://parasol.tamu.edu/dreu/

* Application deadline: February 15, 2009

* Awards announced: March 2009

For more information about the DREU, see http://parasol.tamu.edu/dreu/
