Katherine E. Pope Summer Fellowship
Application Due March 11
By Erin Shatara
The Katherine E. Pope Summer Fellowship was established in the memory of
Katherine E. Pope, an undergraduate student at Smith College in
Massachusetts, who was working at SLAC under the direction of her
physics advisor. Pope was tragically killed in July 2001, while riding a
bicycle on her way to SLAC.
This fellowship remembers Pope and encourages other undergraduates with
an interest in science, especially physics, to pursue their academic
interest at SLAC. The Pope Summer Fellowship will provide transportation
to and from SLAC, a $500 per week stipend, and lodging for the time of
the appointment.
Eligibility for the Katherine E. Pope Fellowship requires the following:
Be an undergraduate student in one of the institutions whose faculty
and students are participating in the research program at SLAC.
Must be authorized to work as documented by completion of the
Immigration Naturalization Services (INS) I-9 forms.
Be available for a summer internship lasting for up to three months
from June through August.
Must have a sponsor for a summer project who is a SLAC user.
Must have completed at least one year of undergraduate study prior to
starting the internship.
Must have a cumulative college GPA of 2.5 or higher.
Preference will be given to students with a project in experimental
particle physics but will not be confined to physics majors.
