CAPS Research Opportunities: Apprentice, Scholar, McNair Scholar

"Whether or not you reach your goals in life depends entirely on how well you prepare for them and how badly you want them"

-Ronald E. McNair, NASA Astronaut and Physics Ph.D.

THE BENEFITS OF CAPS RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES

There are many similarities between CAPS Research Scholar and McNair Scholar, however the major difference is the guaranteed funding for McNair Scholars to actively participate in professional development activities to help enhance their graduate application and their knowledge about where to apply for graduate study. Funding is also available for CAPS Research Scholars to pursue these opportunities, however funding is not always guaranteed. Envision big goals, stay proactive, and let's achieve your endeavors together.
