University of Washington-Seattle Campus (out-of-state)

The Herschel and Caryl Roman Undergraduate Science Scholarship Fund provides financial assistance to deserving undergraduates at the University of Washington who have an interest in genetics research. The scholarship, which provides from $2500 for Autumn through Spring Quarters, will be awarded to one or two undergraduates who demonstrate an interest in genetic research. Award amounts depend on the number of awardees selected and available funding. The selection criteria include academic achievement and aptitude. Applicants should be juniors or seniors when funding begins in Autumn Quarter and should be enrolled for at least three quarters thereafter. By the terms of the scholarship, the awardee will participate in genetics research for at least ten hours per week and must continue to make satisfactory progress toward his or her degree. The Department of Genome Sciences will assist in selection of the laboratory in which the student works.
