Each year 12 students will conduct research with experienced and qualified faculty in areas such as Biochemistry, Biology, Chemistry, Microbiology, Psychology, Reproductive biology, and Zoology.

The program allows students to earn up to $8,400 for their participation which begins in the summer on a full-time basis, and continues through the academic year on a part-time arrangement. Funds are also provided for supply expenses and for the student to present their research findings at a scientific meeting on the Mainland.
