Priority deadline is Feb 29, 2024. After that date, we may accept more students on rolling basis depending on the availability of slots.
Applications are currently closed. Applications will reopen in early January 2024.
If you have trouble with the embedded application below, you can fill out the application here.
Yes, definitely. You do not need to be a student of UH or our collaborating institutions. As long as you are affiliated with an undergraduate or master’s program in a university in the U.S., you are welcome to apply.
You can participate, as long as you have the necessary VISA (or permanent residency) to be a student of a U.S. institution. We do not provide any support in obtaining such legal status to stay in the U.S. Also, depending on your institution, you may be required to obtain CPT in order to receive the stipend from us.
Pick a person who knows you well and who can tell us about your strengths, interests, and work ethic. Professors or mentors you worked with in the last 2–3 years would be ideal. The person does not need to work in a specific area, such as a STEM field or the Energy industry.
