The Department of Biological Sciences, with funding from the HHMI USEP grant, has established an Undergraduate Scholars Program for women and economically disadvantaged biology majors. Six HHMI funded students will receive benefits equivalent to what MARC students receive. Undergraduate Scholars will receive tuition assistance, health coverage reimbursement, and a stipend. Each Undergraduate Scholar must have a minimum GPA of 3.2, conduct research in a laboratory at Hunter College, and be enrolled in SCI 200 during every semester they are part of the program. This program is available to students during their junior and senior years.
