About us
-Applicants will identify several possible mentors with whom they are interested in working.
-Once accepted, Fellows will work with their mentor to define and develop a research project.
-Fellows will carry out the work over a 10-week period during the summer and submit two interim reports, a research abstract, and final paper. At the conclusion of the program, students give an oral or poster presentation at one of several Seminar Days, symposia modeled on a professional technical meeting.
The WAVE Fellows award is $6,000 for the ten-week period, plus on-campus housing, and a dining and travel supplement of ~$1000. Caltech housing is available and we strongly encourage all Fellows to live on campus.
In addition to the research experience, WAVE Fellows will participate in:
-Weekly seminars by Caltech faculty & JPL scientists and engineers
-An academic and professional development series on developing a research career, graduate school admissions, effective writing and oral communications, and other topics of interest to future researchers
-Effective writing workshops
-Social and cultural activities
-Weekly small student-faculty dinners.
