常见问题：

Q.        I’m technically a Junior, with 62 earned credits. 我可以申请吗？
A.        No. 你必须有60个或更少的学分，包括转学学分，才有资格。

Q.        I’m not a 生物学 major, but I plan on declaring one of the valid 生物学 majors. 我可以申请吗？
A.        Yes. You cannot declare a 生物学, Botany, or Biotechnology major until you have completed BIOL1610. If you intend to declare a valid 生物学 major, but have not yet completed BIOL1610, you will need to enroll in that course for the Fall 2025 semester. If you do not, or if you fail to declare as one of the three valid 生物学 majors 之前 Spring 2025, you will be ineligible for continuing with this scholarship program.

Q.        What sorts of things do I have to do as part of this program?
A.        Your first semester (Fall 2025), you will enroll in a special topics course that introduces you to undergraduate research and mentored research opportunities at UVU. You will have the opportunity to interact with many professors and get a taste of what undergraduate research is like in their labs. You will then select a faculty mentor and work together to develop a research plan. For the duration of your undergraduate degree, you will work closely with your faculty and other professional mentors, carry out research, attend networking and other events with the cohort of S-STEM scholars, and travel to present research findings at scientific conferences.

Q.        I’ve never done research 之前. 我的申请有竞争力吗？
A.        Yes! 每位奖学金获得者都将接受相关研究方法的培训。 没有事先的经验假设。

Q.        I have a GPA of 2.9. 我可以申请吗？
A.        Yes. But unless you bring your GPA up to 3.0 minimum 之前 the start of the Fall 2025 semester, you cannot receive funds.
