Please encourage your students to apply to LU-PRISM (Longwood University Perspectives on Research In Science & Mathematics), Longwood's residential summer research program. This program combines practical training in specific research techniques with activities designed to put the research into the context of larger goals of modern science, technology, health, and mathematics.
This program is eight weeks long and will run from May 18, 2020 until July 10, 2020. During this time, participants will receive a stipend of $3500 plus room and board.
Students who apply to the program must be continuing Longwood undergraduates (cannot have graduated prior to December 2019) and be US citizens or permanent residents. Completed applications, including unofficial transcripts and one page narrative statement, are due no later than 5pm on Friday, November 8, 2019.

PRISM 2020 Student Information Sheet
Only 14 students will be chosen to participate in this program. Undergraduate scholarly research is one of the most important things students can do to distinguish themselves from other students applying to graduate schools, professional schools, and post-baccalaureate employment.
Submit applications by e-mail to Sarah Porter, Director of the PRISM program, at portersg@longwood.edu.
