SMART scholarship recipients receive full tuition, annual stipends, summer internships, and after graduation, civilian employment with the Department of Defense. Applications are open annually from August 1 to the first Friday in December. Check your eligibility now to see if you qualify and take the first step toward a successful future in STEM.
Caltech recognizes that differences of perspective, experience, and thought is essential to achieving and maintaining scientific excellence. The WAVE Fellows program supports this goal by increasing visibility and accessibility to our PhD programs to undergraduates in STEM fields who are seriously considering attending graduate school. .
WAVE Fellows is a 10-week undergraduate research program that provides robust programming in the areas of academic and professional development.
Eligibility: Students must be current sophomores through non-graduating seniors and must be U.S. citizens, U.S. permanent residents, or students with DACA status. A minimum GPA of 3.4 is required.
Competitive applicants will have completed sophomore-level courses in desired research field, have demonstrated through academic and/or co-curricular activities a passion for research, and can articulate how their interests align with Caltech's research areas. The most competitive applicants will have prior research experience.
The WAVE Fellows program is open to anyone regardless of race, national origin, sex, gender identity, sexual identity, and/or any other protected characteristic.
Support: WAVE Fellows will receive a $6,000 award for the 10-week period, plus campus housing, and a dining and travel supplement of ~$1,000.

On Saturday, October 4, 2025, Caltech will host our 6th annual virtual FUTURE Ignited program.
Caltech recognizes that the diversity of background, experience, and thought is essential to achieving and maintaining scientific excellence. The FUTURE Ignited program is designed to support and encourage aspiring graduate students by providing the opportunity to learn more about graduate programs at Caltech and, more broadly, the graduate school admissions process.
This program is for students who are interested in pursuing a PhD in the next 1-2 years. This includes rising juniors and seniors and post-baccalaureate students. Students should have an interest in one of the graduate school options offered at Caltech.
Student-Faculty Programs are open to anyone regardless of race, national origin, sex, gender identity, sexual identity, and/or any other protected characteristic.
Interested students should register by September 24, 2025.
From the St Jude Partner Programs Liaison: "We are no longer able to allow juniors (rising seniors) into the St Jude Summer Plus program since their second research summer happens after graduation. This means that we will be accepting more students from earlier years (rising sophomores and juniors) into the St Jude program."
