Project SEED 2013 Application: Now Available
Dear high school
students, parents and teachers,
Thank you for your interest in the Indianapolis Project SEED Summer 2013
Research Internship Program. Because of the substantial
opportunity this program presents, a good application will require some
time to complete. We anticipate the acceptance of 40 new students into the
program this summer and we expect over 100 applications.
Eligibility:
All applicants must have completed 2 semesters of chemistry before the
program begins and be:
Mature Sophomores – going into Junior year
Juniors – going into Senior year
Seniors* – going into college.
*There are laboratories that require students to be 18 so we
encourage Seniors to apply.
In preparation,
please:
1.
Have your guidance counselor provide you with a school transcript
as you will be required to enter many of your course grades into our
application. Also gather up
scores for your SAT, PSAT, ACT and any AP or IB exams that you have
taken. Sometimes these scores appear on your school transcript,
sometimes not. Please ask
your guidance counselor!
2. Create an email account that you will use for the SEED application and for your future college applications. I personally recommend yahoo or gmail, and I recommend dignified email names like john.smith@yahoo.com or jane.doe2013@gmail.com to be more professioal rather than funky.monkey@aim.com
Students may also need to help parents create a free email account as they will need to complete part 4 - the Parent and Financial Information section of the application.
3.

1. General
Information - click here. This application asks your basic
information, school, addresses, and interests.
2. Academic
Achievement - click here. Be
accurate. You
will need to submit your transcript for verification if you are accepted. You may need to look at your transcript.
3. Teacher
Recommendation - click here.
Be sure to give your teacher/s at least 1 week advance notice. It takes
time. Other
mentors and people in your life may write a recommendation also.
Give teachers the website
www.indyprojectseed.org and there is a
place for them to click that will take them to the recommendation page.
4. Parent
and Financial Information click here.
IMPORTANT: This should be completed by your parent/s or legal
guardian/s with whom you live. The Parent should have an email different
from the student email in parts 1 and 2 so we can communicate with the
parent separately. The financial information is required by our sponsors and
determines financial eligibility of students receiving a stipend.
After reading this page if you still have questions please contact our program coordinator, Elmer Sanders, by email: indyprojectseed@yahoo.com or by phone: (317) 514-3212
