2002-2003 OSU Fellows

Our program places teams of Graduate and Undergraduate science fellows in Rural Schools surrounding Oregon State University. These fellows enrich the current science curricula with inquiry-based science activities and labs in cooperation with the science teachers in the schools, and with help from their faculty mentors on campus. Each fellow is awarded a lucrative stipend. Graduate students also receive tuition with their award.
