<p>Can anyone tell me anything about this?</p>
<p>In short, it's an honor to be selected, you get to do an independent project with faculty guidance and funding ($4000), and it's supposedly a lot of fun. Also great way to get started on pursuing research and to meet and connect with faculty for anyone who might be interested in grad school.</p>
<p>my friend was selected. yay friend.</p>
<p>Can anyone--student or parent share their personal experience with this program? The amount of money offered isn't significant. The only other aspect is the honor--I don't have a sense of how big an honor this is from what I see on the website and promotional brochure.</p>
