 underrepresented backgrounds in STEM-related education. In addition to peer-mentorship, this program provides funding to support paid research experiences so that fellows can perform research as their work-study job to build competitive applications for graduate
 school. </span><br>

<span style="background:white">In addition to the Harvard &lt;&gt; Smith mentorship program, will invite AEMES fellows to the virtual events hosted by Harvard graduate student organizations. These events will help undergraduates understand what the life of a STEM
 PhD student looks like, professional options available after getting a PhD, and attend panels from leaders across many different STEM related fields.
