Selection Process

UM Scholars involves a competitive selection process to gauge student capabilities, interests and the potential to expand from the research experience. A matching process that includes student/mentor interviews ensures the best fit between mentors, students and projects and a quality experience for all parties.  In addition, it establishes a defined project with clear expectations and deliverables. Mentors interview student applicants and make their selections on the best candidate match to the project and to the mentor.

Applications for Projects with the MDH reviewed on a rolling basis, beginning late January 2026.
