Century Scholars Program
The University's goals of attracting superior
undergraduates, fostering collaboration between students and
professors, and sustaining a commitment to undergraduate
education have culminated in a groundbreaking scholarship and
mentoring program. The Rice University Century Scholars
program matches select incoming freshmen with faculty mentors
for a two year period. During that time the student and mentor
collaborate on one of the mentor's research projects. In
addition to the research opportunity, select students receive
a two-year merit scholarship and a research stipend.
This unique opportunity is one that is found at few other
universities. The Century Scholars program was introduced in
the 2000-2001 academic year. Participants have had a variety
of unique opportunities. One participant spent 6 weeks at the
Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and many others have
accompanied their mentors to international conferences.
Just imagine what you can do.
