• Students are mentored by world-class researchers and enjoy access to state of the art facilities and instrumentation at the campuses and in central and collaborative research buildings such as the Advanced Science Research Center or at the Belfer Building that is jointly operated with Weill-Cornell Medical Center.
• Students receive a guaranteed 5-year, $30,000 per year Science Scholarship, full tuition waiver, and other benefits (health insurance, parental accommodation).
• Additional fellowship opportunities for students from underrepresented minority backgrounds,
• The deadline for admissions is January 1, 2021, and GRE scores are optional.
