<p>We were pleasantly surprised when D was accepted to Umass Lowell to learn about their scholar intern program (I wonder if it for science and engineering students only). According to her letter, it guarantees a (campus) research lab assistantship summer after frosh year and then placement in industry next two summers. Comes with a 4K stipend each placement.</p>
<p>The program works well for students willing/able to spend the summer in the area. Because of this experiential opportunity, UML (her safety) is very attractive to her now…and mom too given financial considerations.</p>
