Dear Colleagues:

Please share the following opportunities with your students.

Caltech is excited to announce two summer research opportunities
available to continuing undergraduate students. Questions about these
programs can be directed to Carol Casey at casey@caltech.edu or (626)
395-2887.

MURF Undergraduate Research Fellowships

The MURF program aims to increase the participation of underrepresented
students (such as African American, Hispanic, Native American, and
Puerto Rican) in science and engineering graduate programs and to make
Caltech's programs more visible to students not traditionally exposed to
Caltech.

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 3.0 is required.

Support: MURF students will receive a $6000 award, round-trip air
transportation, and free housing on the Caltech campus.

Application: Online applications are due January 7, 2008.

For more information, please visit www.murf.caltech.edu

Amgen Scholars Program

Caltech's Amgen Scholars Program is geared towards students in biology
and biotechnology fields. Some of these fields include biology,
biochemistry, bioengineering, chemical and biomolecular engineering, and
chemistry.

Eligibility: Students must be current sophomores through non-graduating
seniors, must be attending a four-year university, and must be U.S.
citizens or U.S. permanent residents. A minimum GPA of 3.2 is required.

Support: Amgen Scholars will receive a $5500 award, round-trip air
transportation, a generous housing allowance, and a food allowance.

Application: Online applications are due February 1, 2008.
