<b>MURF UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS</b><br>
<br>
The MURF program aims to increase the participation of underrepresented students (such as African American, Hispanic, and Native American; females who are underrepresented in their discipline; or first-generation college students) in science and engineering
Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D. programs and to make Caltech's programs more visible to students not traditionally exposed to Caltech.<br>
<br>
Eligibility: Students must be current sophomores through non-graduating seniors and must be U.S. citizens or U.S. permanent residents. A minimum GPA of 3.2 is required.<br>
<br>
Competitive applicants will have completed sophomore-level courses in desired research field, have demonstrated through academic and/or co-curricular activities a passion for research, and can articulate how their research interests align with Caltech's research
areas. The most competitive applicants will have prior research experience.<br>
<br>
Support: MURF students will receive a $6000 award for the ten-week program. An additional $500 housing and travel supplement will be provided.<br>
<br>
Application: Online applications are due January 8, 2014.<br>
