Science Research Mentoring Program

What is SRMP?

The Science Research Mentoring Program (SRMP) at the American Museum of Natural History is an opportunity for New York City high school students to conduct one year (August–June) of scientific research with Museum scientists. 

In SRMP, high school students get paid to learn how to conduct research. Students work with peers and scientist mentors twice each week throughout the school year for a total of four hours a week on a project that has never been done before. Every research project is different, covering topics from "Genetic basis of foraging in ogre-faced spiders" to "Weighing Stars: How do we know how heavy stars are?" to "What were the Maya eating 2,000 years ago?"

SRMP students learn a wide range of new skills, like working with DNA in the lab, analyzing data from space based telescopes, reading scientific articles, and learning to code and analyze data in Python, R, and other programming languages. At the same time, students become part of a community and strengthen their teamwork skills along with their communication, presentation and writing abilities.

Students in SRMP are not expected to have previous experience with these activities—we build the skills together in the program.

We love working with students who…

• have a passion for learning and discovery
• are new to science research and want to build their skills
• can commit to meeting during August and four hours a week throughout the school year 
• value teamwork and collaboration
• look forward to working with a mentor who can help them find their path

Why join SRMP? 

Being part of the Science Research Mentoring Program has many benefits, including: 

• Learn how to do science research by working on a year-long authentic research project with an AMNH-affiliated scientist
• Earn a monetary stipend ($2500) upon completion of research and program requirements 
• Build a community of peers and mentors who want to help you succeed in your academic goals 
• Attend special events at the American Museum of Natural History and become part of the Museum professional community 

To be eligible, applicants must either a) first complete a course in Science and Nature Program, Science Alliance Middle School Program or Science Alliance High School Program OR b) attend one of our partner schools or programs. Find out more at the Join SRMP page.

Find more programs through The NYC Science Research Mentoring Consortium (The Consortium) led by the Museum, a partnership of academic, research, and cultural institutions committed to providing dynamic, mentored, science research experiences for NYC high school students who have an interest in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM).

SRMP (Science Research Mentoring Program) aims to increase access to science fields and careers for NYC high school students by providing authentic science research opportunities and meaningful mentorship. We believe that conducting high-quality scientific research while in high school improves scholars’ personal growth and increases opportunities for success long term. 

In our commitment to inclusivity, we actively work to make science accessible to students from every walk of life and background, fostering a diverse and enriching learning environment. We strive to create a supportive community that values each scholar’s unique strengths, challenges, and motivations.

The Barry Goldwater Scholarship and Excellence in Education Foundation was established by Congress in 1986 to serve as a living memorial to honor Senator Barry Goldwater's lifetime work. Goldwater served his country for 56 years as a soldier and statesman, including 30 years in the U.S. Senate.

By providing scholarships to college sophomores and juniors who intend to pursue research careers in the natural sciences, mathematics, and engineering, the Goldwater Foundation is helping ensure that the U.S. is producing the number of highly qualified professionals the Nation needs in these critical fields. Over its 30-year history, Goldwater Scholarships have been awarded to thousands of undergraduates, many of whom have gone on to win other prestigious awards like the National Science Foundation’s Graduate Fellowship, Rhodes Scholarship, Churchill Scholarship, and the National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate Fellowship that support our Scholars’ graduate schoolwork. Today, Goldwater alumni can be found conducting research that is helping defend the Nation, finding cures for catastrophic diseases, and teaching future generations of scientists, mathematicians, and engineers.


GENERAL GUIDANCE FOR APPLICANTS: A competitive application requires planning, attention to detail, and sufficient time to work with individuals who can support the student’s application. All applicants need to plan appropriately. As materials are prepared, students should keep in mind that the Goldwater Scholarship is awarded to those who show the greatest potential for becoming one of the United States' next generations of research leaders in the natural sciences, mathematics, and engineering. All elements of an application should help the Foundation understand how you intend to be one of these leaders.

General guidance when preparing an application:
* Carefully read and review all of the required application information and materials.
* Contact the Goldwater Scholarship Campus Representative (CR) as early as possible to inform the CR of your interest in applying. Carefully follow your CR’s instructions regarding the campus application process.
* Know and stay on top of all deadlines (including those set by your institution’s CR and those established by the Goldwater Program).
* After discussing prospective references with your CR and determining whom you will ask to write your letters of recommendation, contact your letter writers as early as possible–no less than a month, but ideally more than a month in advance of the campus deadline.
* Work with individuals who can assist and provide feedback throughout the application process (i.e., Goldwater CR, mentors, and Letter of Recommendation writers).
* Make certain the information provided is accurate and reported in a way that is asked for in the application.
* Proofread, reflect, revise, and again proofread, reflect, revise–all application materials! Enlist others to review the application for science, grammar, format, etc.

STEPS IN THE NOMINATION PROCESS – STUDENT

STEP 1: Review the Goldwater Eligibility Requirements and figure out if you meet them as the following:
* Meet the Goldwater Foundation’s definition of a college sophomore or junior.
* Have a GPA ≥ 3.0 on a 4.0 scale.
* Intend to pursue a research career in the natural sciences, engineering, or mathematics.
* Be a citizen or permanent resident.

If you answered “yes” to these questions, then you are eligible for nomination for a Goldwater scholarship. You may review the Eligibility Requirements in full here.

If you are worried that you are not competitive enough, do NOT “count yourself out” without first talking with your Goldwater Campus Representative.

STEP 2: Identify Your School’s Goldwater Campus Representative (CR) by opening the Campus Representative Locator. If your school is not listed on the Locator, please contact the Goldwater Help Center at 507-931-8335 or by email at goldwater@scholarshipamerica.org.

STEP 3: Complete a Student Profile and Pre-Application and Contact your Goldwater Campus Representative
Complete the Student Profile and Goldwater Scholarship Pre-Application. When submitted, your student profile and pre-application are emailed to your Goldwater CR. This email to your Goldwater CR is nothing more than a conversation starter; it expresses your interest in learning more about the Goldwater scholarship. The information you provide is NOT used as part of your candidacy or in the selection process.

If you do not hear from your CR in a reasonable period (e.g., in a week), contact your CR at the email address or telephone number provided in the Campus Representative Locator. If you are unable to contact this person, call or email the Goldwater Help Center. You must talk with your Goldwater CR before making any decisions about the competitiveness of your application for the program.  Do not count yourself out before talking to your Goldwater CR.

STEP 4: Complete the Online Goldwater Application. The online application has several components, including:
* Online questionnaire.
* Research essay.
* Three letters of recommendation.
* Transcript(s).
* For Permanent Residents, a copy of your Permanent Resident Card.

STEP 5: Nomination:
The names and the complete set of application materials for students selected as an institution’s Goldwater nominees must be uploaded to the Goldwater nomination site by an institution’s Campus Representative on or before the application deadline, the last Friday in January at 5:00 p.m. Central Time. Typically, CRs have an earlier final campus deadline by which they must have the nominees’ final materials. Check with your CR.

Help: If you need help or assistance with any part of the application, contact the Goldwater Help Desk at 507-931-8335 or, by email, at goldwater@scholarshipamerica.org.

More than ever, these issues arise not only in the personal relationships of individuals and family and friends, but also in the context of corporate, government, and social responsibility, whether it is about treating others fairly and honestly, or food safety.

The Asian American / Asian Research Institute will award the top three essays, selected by the Selection Committee, the following prizes:

• Best Essay ($1,000)
• First Runner-up ($300)
• Second Runner-up ($200)

At the Law Office of Jae Lee, we regularly represent clients in matters related to immigration. As a first-generation immigrant himself, Attorney Jae Lee understands the struggles that many families face and the difficulties they may encounter as they work to establish lives in the United States. Fortunately, there are many opportunities available for immigrants, and by pursuing education and job opportunities, they can not only support themselves and their families, but they can integrate into American society, participate in the community, and live happy, successful lives.

To ensure that immigrants can pursue educational opportunities, our firm has created a scholarship program that provides assistance to first or second-generation immigrants from low-income families. We award one student with a scholarship of $1,000 each semester, which may be used to help pay for tuition or other educational expenses, such as books, supplies, or room and board.
 

Who Is Eligible for the Immigrant Student Scholarship?

With our scholarship program, we assist immigrant students who have a demonstrated need, helping them cover some of the costs of a college education. Students may apply for the scholarship if they meet the following requirements:

   * The student must be either a first or second-generation immigrant living in the United States.
   * The student’s family must be considered to be low-income, with an annual household income of less than                $50,000.
   * The student must be currently enrolled in or accepted for admission to a college, university, or graduate program.
   * The student must have a GPA of 4.0 or higher in their most recently completed academic semester.

Your application must also include a written essay or video submission describing your family’s immigration story and discussing what separates you from others. Written essays may be up to 500 words long, and video essays may be up to five minutes. Your essay should answer the following questions:

• Where did your family immigrate to the U.S. from, and how did they establish themselves in the country?
• What experiences have shaped your life and made you who you are today?
• What makes you unique or different from others?
• What are your goals after you receive your college degree? What profession do you want to pursue? What are your personal goals?

When applying for the Immigrant Student Scholarship, please include contact information, including your name, address, and email address. We require proof of enrollment at a college or university, and you may upload your current academic transcript, a letter of acceptance, or other applicable documentation.

How Will the Scholarship Winner Be Selected?

To ensure that the Immigrant Student Scholarship will be awarded to a deserving student, we will review each application and essay closely. In addition to ensuring that all eligibility criteria have been met, we will consider how each applicant’s essay answers the questions above. We are looking for clear, well-written responses that demonstrate creativity and organization. Our goal is to assist an immigrant student who has a demonstrated need, ensuring that they will be able to pursue opportunities in the future.

Lawanna Renee Barron Scholarship Endowment Fund

Thanks to the generosity of renowned social work education advocate and NASW member, Lawanna R. Barron, BCD, ACSW, LCSW, the NASW Foundation will partner with her on a unique endowment fund, supporting select social work students pursuing their BSW and MSW degrees in mostly rural areas.

About The Scholarship And Its Namesake

Initially, the endowment will help fund the education of one BSW or one MSW student with demonstrated interest, or experience working in, rural settings and/or health and mental health in African American communities.

Barron recently retired after 29 years with the Moody Air Force Base Family Advocacy Program in Georgia. She served as the Family Advocacy Treatment manager from 1993-2000, Family Advocacy Outreach manager from 2000-2019, and Family Advocacy Intervention Specialist from 2019-2022.

Recently, Barron was the recipient of the Tuskegee University College of Arts and Sciences Department of Social Work – Social Work Excellence Award for her contributions to military families, rural communities, and social work education through her volunteer work on various boards and mentorship of aspiring social work students. She was named Moody Air Force Base Civilian of the Year in 1994; and on numerous occasions, she was named Civilian of the Quarter. In 2003, she was named the NASW Georgia Chapter Social Worker of the Year.

Neysa Fanwick Memorial Scholarship Endowment

The Neysa Fanwick Memorial Scholarship will be awarded to a master’s degree candidate in social work dedicated to addressing injustices within various systems, including, but not limited to, criminal justice, foster care, healthcare, and education. These candidates will demonstrate a commitment to developing innovative solutions that foster positive change, with experience working in health and mental health settings. Applications will be evaluated based on their alignment with the fund’s mission.

About The Scholarship And Its Namesake

In the optimistic spirit of the soulful and spirited humanitarian, Neysa Fanwick, this endowment will help support the education of MSW students who are taking action to help vulnerable populations. Potential candidates will have worked in mental health fields helping to solve the most critical, emerging social and health problems with creative solutions.

As a global citizen and experienced social worker, Neysa helped vulnerable people who were faced with an array of mental health issues.  She advocated for people who were unfairly treated by oppressive practices in the criminal justice system, foster care, and education systems to help these individuals recognize their strengths, rights, and potential for change.  She explored ways in which young people could be empowered through education, skills-development, and mentoring.  Neysa believed in the power of the individual and community to make real change on a larger scale.   

Neysa earned her MSW from Tulane University. Those who worked with her called her a natural leader.  Working for several years at NO/AIDS in New Orleans, Neysa’s colleagues said she was known as an “angel,” helping those at risk.  “Neysa’s smile, laugh, and voice are definitely missed around our office, as she will be forever. She had the gift of making an impact on those she met, and those of us at NO/AIDS all felt that. The community has lost a beautiful soul, one that can never be replaced, and certainly will never be forgotten.”

Outside of work, Neysa volunteered in Thailand teaching English as a Second Language (ESL) and in New Orleans with GIRLS, INC - an organization aligned with her values and with her commitment to empower young women.  She completed her certification to become an official volunteer with the Orleans Parish Police Department Mobile Crisis Unit Team – and she fostered dogs.  Neysa’s compassion knew no bounds. And it is in this spirit that the Neysa Fanwick Endowment Scholarship will celebrate her compassion and instill her caring approach in a new generation of social workers.

Neysa Fanwick Memorial Scholarship Guidelines

The Neysa Fanwick Memorial Scholarship Endowment is awarded based on the projected annual earnings to the fund and contributions. A panel reviews applicants and selects the award recipient.

One scholarship of $5,000 will be given each year, contingent upon the earnings being sufficient to sustain this sum.

To apply, students must be a member of NASW and have applied to, or have been accepted into, an accredited MSW program (payment of the award will be contingent on the full admission of the candidate into the program). 

No minimum grade point average (GPA) is required, but applicant should demonstrate strong graduation potential.
