>Dear Organization, and Prospective/Former Science Interns,
>
>I am recruiting science undergraduates for the Research Experience 
>for Undergraduates (REU) and Materials Research Experience for 
>Minority Undergraduates Program at Northwestern University (NU). The 
>Program targets undergraduate materials science, chemistry, physics, 
>and engineering majors in the United States. It begins at the end of 
>June and runs for 9 weeks. Each participant receives a stipend of 
>$4,000 for full participation in the program.
>
>We also offer a summer research program for science teachers and 
>professors -- see below. *
>
>Sponsored by the National Science Foundation, the Materials Research 
>Science & Engineering Center houses a group of outstanding faculty, 
>who do a variety of research within their smaller interdisciplinary 
>research groups (IRGs). REU/MRI interns will have the opportunity to 
>select a project from one of these groups and work closely with a 
>faculty mentor and graduate student or post doctoral fellow. Former 
>interns have really benefited from their summer experience at NU and 
>receive excellent recommendations from faculty members for jobs or 
>applications to graduate school, and some participants have even 
>published their research.
>
>Typically, we process all of the applications about two weeks after 
>the deadline. We have a rolling admissions; therefore, outstanding 
>applicants may be notified before the deadline.
>
>For more information about the Program and our Center, please visit 
>our website at

>forward this e-mail to anyone who may be interested and ask them to 
>visit http://mrcemis.ms.nwu.edu/mrsec/education/edu_rest.htm.

>Once you have been accepted to the program, we will send you an 
>acceptance letter, and prior to the beginning of the program, we 
>will send you a list of projects to choose from and an orientation 
>packet, which includes information on campus housing, meals, 
>transportation, etc.

>I would appreciate if you could distribute this e-mail to any 
>organizations/students/teachers who may be interested in these
