Finalists will be selected based on academic excellence, demonstrated interest in STEM programs and careers, leadership, community involvement, and commitment to advancing and broadening participation within STEM. If you are chosen as a finalist, we will invite you to join us on campus for Selection Day. During Selection Day, finalists will interview for the program with UNC faculty and staff, meet with current scholars in their fields of interest, learn about some of UNC’s innovative research, and participate in other activities designed to introduce them to the wide variety of opportunities available at Carolina. Final decisions will be sent via email approximately two weeks after Selection Day.
