Are you interested in becoming an AMP Scholar?
AMP Scholars are selected based on their interpersonal skills, academic
performance, and desire to help others. Students selected for undergraduate
research spend 8-10 hours per week on a research project under the supervision
of a faculty member. Students have the opportunity to present their findings
at the University of Illinois Undergraduate Symposium, the African American
and Latino Research Forum, or the Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation
Research Symposium.
AMP scholars who are selected to assist with the workshops are motivated
students who have enrolled and excelled in at least two semesters of math
or physics workshops. They meet weekly with trained teacher assistants
to discuss course material and serve as peer facilitators in the workshops.
Students selected to conduct research or to facilitate the workshops are
awarded a $1500 stipend per semester of participation. AMP Scholars are
traditionally students fro underrepresented groups (African American,
Native American, Latino) recruited from students within the fields of
Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). However, other
related majors may be considered.
