NSF Research Experiences
for Undergraduates
UGA REU Application Submission ProceduresThe UGA REU program uses a web-based application procedure. Please review all the fields needed before beginning to fill in the form. You may find it helpful to print the blank form on your first visit and write in the information off-line before coming back to fill in and officially submit the form.
Some of the information required includes:
- Name, SSN, Contact Information (address, tel/fax/email)
- Overall GPA
- GPA for Science and Math Courses
- Individual Sci/Math course grades received
- Research Area Preferences (e.g., browse the mentors' pages)
- Previous Research Experience, Honors and Awards
- Computer languages and software packages
- Names, Addresses, Phone Numbers, and email of two (2) faculty members who have been asked to send letters of recommendation.
- A one (1) page essay about your background, interest in physics or astronomy, and why you think you would be a good candidate for this program (prepare this in a text file ahead of time, and then "cut and paste" into the form on your browser).
If you have all that, then please continue! Once you have all the information in front of you, it will take about 30 minutes to complete the form. Please be careful because this form does not check to see if you have left off any important information; it is strongly recommended that you send an email to reu@hal.physast.uga.edu notifying us of your application, the time and date.
All materials in support of your application for the Summer 2004 UGA REU Program must be received by March 15, 2004, 9 p.m. ET, but we encourage early applications, and will begin the review of applications as soon as we have applications to review.
In addition to this form, completed applications include:
- Signed Letter of Intent sent via surface mail (Click here for sample letter)
- University Transcripts sent via surface mail (photocopies accepted)
- Two Letters of Reference by faculty sent via email, surface mail, or fax. You may direct your references to the UGA REU Home Page which has a link to instructions for submissions.
