The MSRI-UP is a comprehensive program for undergraduates that aims at increasing the number of students from underrepresented groups in mathematics graduate programs. MSRI-UP includes summer research opportunities, mentoring, workshops on the graduate school application process, and follow-up support. The MSRI-UP will:
  • Train undergraduates in mathematical research through a six-week summer program at MSRI in Berkeley, CA.
  • Provide participating students opportunities to present their research at national conferences in the year following the summer program.
  • Introduce participating students to a network of mentors through national societies known for their mentoring activities and professional support for students.
  • Guide students in the process of applying to graduate programs and fellowships.

Details of the 2008 summer program:
  • Eighteen students will participate in research on Experimental Mathematics led by Dr. Victor Moll from the Tulane University, a post-doc and two graduate assistants
  • Program dates: June 14 – July 27.
  • Students who will finish their sophomore or junior year in 2008 are preferred. African American, Latino and Native American students are especially sought
  • Four items will be needed to complete your application. Please visit the Application Introduction page to determine what you will need to submit.
  • Each student will receive room and board, a $3,000 summer stipend, transportation to and from Berkeley, and funding to attend a national conference
