Eligibility Criteria
You are eligible to apply for the U.S. Army Research
Laboratory Science and Technology Academic Recognition System (STARS) if
you meet the following criteria:
-
You are a U.S. citizen;
-
You are enrolled in a fully accredited higher education
institution which is a Historically Black College or University or other
Minority Institution;
-
Your enrollee institution will classify you as a
senior at the end of the current semester; and
-
Your grade point average at the time of application
is no less than a 3.0 on a 4.0 scale.
Continued participation in STARS requires that you
maintain at least a 3.0 grade point average during the entire period of enrollment
in the program and that you receive satisfactory performance reviews for
all periods when you are working under the guidance of an ARL mentor (summers,
winter breaks, etc.). As with all Federal programs, continued implementation
of STARS is contingent upon future congressional funding.
