<p>So my acceptance package arrived in the mail today and I was surprised to get a Trustee Distinguished Scholarship of $14,500 for 4 years (something I was not expecting at all). I thought that if I would get any scholarship it would be the Century Scholars because of my research awards, so my question is how hard is it to do <em>in-depth,</em> continuous research for several months in something like bioengineering or biochemistry if you don't have the Century Scholars?</p>
<p>Jenskate can help you. My Dd's experience at Rice is that there are always lots of profs looking for help doing /participating in research - regardless of whether you have a Century Scholars designation or not.</p>
<p>It should be no problem. I'm sending you a pm.</p>
<p>nctaiwaneseguy,</p>
<p>I am in the exact situation as you. I'm surprised that I got the Trustee Distinguished Scholarship, because I thought I had a better chance at the Century Scholars because of my past experience in research. Nonetheless, I am still very happy!</p>
<p>However, I would also like to know if there are plenty of research opportunities for non-Century Scholars. How do I go about pursuing these?</p>
<p>There will be abundant opportunites at Rice and opportunities elsewhere during the summer because you go to Rice. Research hospitals that offer summer internships love Rice students.</p>
