SEE-Beyond AWARDS
Summer Educational Experiences – Learning Beyond Campus

APPLICATION PROCESS

Award Competition: SEE-Beyond Awards invite students to explore new techniques, technologies, or modes of inquiry or expression; to apply their academic-year learning to real-world challenges; and to clarify the interrelationship between their educational and post-baccalaureate goals.  Awards may be used to support:

•    field or laboratory research in an area of the student’s choice, with the permission of the host institution and research sponsor;
•    internships with clearly defined learning goals that complement the student’s academic plan;
•    artistic residencies, workshops, apprenticeships, or productions.

This list is not exhaustive nor is it meant to be prescriptive.  Unless otherwise stated by the chairperson or director of your department or program, any experience that puts your classroom learning into practice or that deepens your knowledge or understanding of the discipline may be supported. 

Awardees will receive a $4,000 stipend for an 8-10 week experience of at least 240 hours. Funds may be used at the student’s discretion to cover participation fees or tuition, travel expenses, and summer room and board.  SEE-Beyond Awards may be used to access opportunities anywhere in the world, except in countries with State Department travel warnings or advisories.  SEE-Beyond Awards may not be used to fund job shadowing opportunities or work experience of little academic value or summer student-faculty research at Skidmore.  Students receiving a SEE-Beyond Award agree to reflect on learning outcomes by way of a final written report.

Eligibility:  Students must be enrolled full-time and be in good academic, social, and financial standing with the College. International students should check with Student Academic Services before applying to identify any requirements they need to meet to qualify for this award. These awards cannot be combined with other funded experiential learning opportunities at Skidmore.

Application Process:  Complete applications must be submitted to the appropriate Department Chairperson or Program Director by 5PM on Friday, 24 February.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL LATE PROPOSALS BE ACCEPTED!

Please submit:

1. Complete Application Form.

2. Application Essay- Attach a brief essay (2-3 pages; typed) describing the relevance of the experience to your educational goals.  Describe your preparation for the experience and how the experience will enhance your liberal arts education. You must also provide a specific description of the activities and responsibilities associated with the experience. This application process is competitive, and your essay will be judged on the quality and clarity of the writing. No vague or poorly written proposals will be accepted.

3. Supervisor’s Statement:  An on-site supervisor or sponsor must confirm your acceptance into the program, organization, or institution and indicate his or her support for the learning goals you describe.

Selection Criteria:

1. Quality of the Application Essay
2. Substance and rigor of the experience
3. Consistency of the experience with the student’s academic goals and degree of preparation.

PURE Math Program – Summer 2012

The Pacific Undergraduate Research Experience in Mathematics (PURE Math) is a summer mathematics enrichment and research program for undergraduates which will be housed in Hilo, Hawaii and funded by the NSF. The program's goal is to increase the number of Pacific Islanders pursuing advanced degrees and careers in the mathematical sciences and I am aware that there is a strong presence of Pacific Islanders at your university.

The PURE Math Program consists of two sub-programs. The PURE Math Internship is a five-week intensive program in which twelve students participate in two advanced mathematics seminars and culminating in mini-projects based on one of the seminar topics. In Summer 2012, the PURE Math Internship learning seminars are "An Introduction to Discrete Morse Theory" and "The Theory of Algebras." The PURE Math Residency is an eight-week intensive undergraduate research program in which twelve more advanced mathematics students engage in open-ended mathematics research projects under the guidance of a well-established research mathematician. In Summer 2012, the PURE Math Residents will work on projects in computational algebraic geometry under the direction of Dr. John B. Little (http://mathcs.holycross.edu/~little/homepage.html).

Please visit our website at http://www2.hawaii.edu/~pure if you would like to find out more about us.  You will also find a pdf flyer on the website which helps provide further information for students. We look forward to hearing from you.

Mahalo!
