 What
is the MBRS-RISE graduate program ?
The primary
objective of the MBRS-RISE graduate program is to provide financial support for
qualified, underrepresented minority students to participate in one of five
Ph.D. degree-granting programs at the City University Graduate Center.
The programs are Biology, Biochemistry, Biopsychology, Chemistry and Physics.
Courses are usually taught at the Graduate Center in mid-town, but all research
activities are conducted at the student's home college, in this case, Hunter
College, which is located in the residential upper East Side of Manhattan.
Full-time,
matriculated students who are members of ethnic minorities underrepresented
among scientists are eligible. The student should have a strong undergraduate
record in their major and have been admitted to one of the five programs.
Students must complete an MBRS application, provide copies of undergraduate
transcript, graduate school transcript (if applicable), of GRE results as well
as one letter of reference from research mentor.
Accepted students receive a salary of $18,000 per annum, free tuition, medical
coverage and funds to travel to one professional meeting a year. Limited dorm
room space is also available to incoming students. If the student remains in
good standing, MBRS support will continue for a maximum five year period. At
that point other grant-supported funds are likely to be available.
