Proposals must contain three of the following elements:

• Summer bridge program to prepare participants for the first year of college or university and provide remedial instruction with an emphasis on basic sciences, computation, and science communication.

• Academic year activities to prepare freshman and sophomore participants for summer research experiences and eventual entry into an advanced honors program.

• Hands-on summer research experiences.

• Mentoring.

• Honors Program.
